Sarah (Unknown) was born either about 1815 in North Carolina^[1] or about 1813 in Georgia.^[2]

In 1850,^[1] Sarah White (age 35, born in North Carolina) was living in Telfair County, Georgia in the household of her husband, Dennis White (age 46, born in Columbia Co., Georgia), with her 5 White children, all born in Georgia (age, sex): i) John (16, M), ii) Elizabeth (15, S), iii) William (8, M), iv) Simon (6, M), & v) George (3, M).

Research Notes

Sarah (Unknown) White, Dennis White's 1st wife, may have been Sarah "Dodson". There is a genealogy of the Dodson's that should be further examined to ascertain the likelihood of this.^[3] I've requested a copy of this book via inter-library loan.Hiestand-529 14:42, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
