interesting.

Notes: |
-
Sarah was 16 on her
wedding day and her groom was age 31. They lived in South Carolina.

-
It appears that
Florence G. Anderson lied about her age. She is first shows up
on the 1880 Census as a newborn, then she shows up in the 1930
Census as born in 1889. Her death index says she was born in 1890,
so essentially 10 years younger.

Notes: |
-
David was a
blacksmith and his middle name may
have been "Crockett".
