| James probably died in late 1860s based on Sarah’s remarriage in 1871 | Illinois Statewide Marriage Index | |
| 1870 | On the 1870 census, i can find no record of James having relocated to another area or of Sarah iiving as a widow. Since Sarah was born in Kentucky, I thought she may have taken little Mary back if she still had relatives there. I found no matching record in Kentucky, and Sarah remarried in Illinois, so Sarah and Mary should still be in Jackson or Perry county in 1870. | comment |
