4401	So far, we have not yet found a death date for Sarah. She does not appear in the Massachusetts 1920 or 1930 census. Nor in the town records or death indexes. It seems unlikely that she moved away but we have not found a death record. There is a story in the Boston Globe about a Sarah Hooper, elderly (62 years), paralytic, who was being transported to the state hospital at Tewksbury and got stuck in a hearse for 8 hours. But, our Sarah Hooper is in Whitman in 1917-1920.	Peterson, Sarah Oldham (I4850)
4402	So, a different, correct, birth certificate says 16 Jun 1871 in Treanmanagh, Kerry, Ireland. The old incorrect one says 20 Sep 1872	Shea, Ellen (I5564)
4403	So, was he married twice or three times? His obituary only calls out Mary Phelps and Fannie Cole. Two more children are known to have been born by his first wife. Both died as infants. John Walker Deshazo was a Methodist minister and circuit rider. He is described in a book on Methodists in Arkansas. After the death of his first wife, he married a much younger woman and had a second family in Tennessee. Susan Dickson reports his name as John Wesley Deshazo since he was a Methodist minister, a circuit rider. According to the 1910 Census, J.W. Deshazo was only married twice, not three times. He is enumerated with Fannie Cole, his last wife. Verbatum reproduction of a published tribute found in my mother's Bible. Jerry W. Black, 23 Feb 2008, great grandson and Disciples of Christ clergyman/retired Army Chaplain jerwayne on Ancestry jerwayne originally shared this on 23 Feb 2008 Deshazo--The Rev. J.W. Deshazo, Sr. was born Nov. 11, 1835. Departed this life Jan. 12th, 1918, aged 82 years, 1 month and 29 days. In the year 1854 he was married to Mary F. E. Phelph. To them were born nine children. In 1890 he was married to Fannie E. Cole and to this union were born four children. Of the 13 children, only 7 children with Mrs. Fannie E. Deshazo remain. He professed conversion at the age of thirteen and united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. At the age of sixteen, he united with the M.E. Church South. He had a clear call to enter the Christian ministry but for some time the church refused him license because of his inability to pass a satisfactory examination in the common English branches as required by the church, but he being a young man with a lot of will and experience persevered and by hard study and cultivating the gifts God had given him succeeded in securing license to preach when he was about 22 years of age. He was very studious, doing the most of his study at night after a hard days labor, using the pine knots he had gathered to make the light for the late hours. He served as Chaplain at a hospital during the Civil War, during which time he witnessed hundreds of conversions. In January 1868 he and his family with his brother, Rev. L. C. Deshazo and family and one or two other families united with the Shady Grove Methodist Episcopal church in Miss. He was ordained Deacon one day and on the next day Elder, by Bishop Simpson. He served as Presiding Elder twelve years in the M.E. church spending these years on the Holly Springs and Columbus Districts in Mississippi. Spent 35 years in Arkansas, doing some the most efficient work of his life there. He engaged in the evangelistic work a number of years being very successful in his efforts. His experiences as a Methodist preacher were varied and many. Being in the vigor of his manhood during the stormy days of the sixties and the years just following some of his experiences were almost as trying as were some of the Apostle Paul's. Crossing swollen streams, spending nights along the roadside all alone with his blanket for a bed. Sometimes without food, halted by mobs along the roadside, life threatened daring the threats made trying to stop him from preaching in communities, he bravely endured as seeing him who is invisible. His mind and heart were on the uplifting and helping of others and not ease or gain for himself. Thousands have shared a part of God's spirit through his services. Not one blemish can be found against his character and life. True, devout and long-suffering was his prayerful work and his daily walk before men and in the sight of God. He had run his race, had finished his course and had lived three score years of service for Christ and His cause. He was full of faith and of the Holy Ghost. Often during his powerful preaching large numbers would shout, "Glory to God! Hallelujah!" until he was compelled to remain silent for a few minutes and then with new effort he was able to (unclear) the enthusiastic shouting congregation so that he could finish his discourse. He is gone from us but still lives in the hearts of thousands who came in touch with his life. He had often expressed himself as wanting to die in service and at his post. It seems his desire was granted as he was the faithful eighty-two year old pastor of the Friendship Charge in the Central Tenn Conference when his earthly race ended. He died with apoplexy which resulted in paralysis. He passed out with perfect ease and without a struggle and attended the events which he had many times expressed himself as looking forward to with pleasure and rejoicing. His body now sleeps in the Elizabeth cemetery on this Friendship Charge to await the resurrection morning. May the blessings of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost be upon the faithful companion, the children and relatives left behind with the sweet thought of soon meeting again. H. P. Keathley, Dist. Supt. -- AR UMC has old papers https://arumc.org/our-ministries/archives-and-history/winfred-d-polk-archives/newspapers/ The conference minutes do not necessarily bear out all that this obituary says. It appears he joined with the Mississippi Conference of the M.E. Church (NOT Methodist Episcopal Church South). By 1871, he was presiding elder of the Columbus District. But by 1877, he was listed as supernumerary and disappeared from the conference journal. Larkin, however, continued until at least the mid-1890s. It was said that he affiliated with the Methodist Protestant Church, but those records are hard to find. And by the 1880s, he had moved to Arkansas and affilliated with the conference there (maybe).	Deshazo, Rev. John Walker (I2502)
4404	So, what happened to Amos? Where is he in 1880? That would be interesting His 1852 birth date looks wrong since he is in the 1850 census.	Merrow, Amos W. (I4628)

4429	Solemnized by E.M Paulk, the groom's father.	Family: James Cason Paulk / Lois Kathryn Edge (F2916)
4430	Solemnized by Rev. J.H. Cason, Bettie's father.	Family: Edgar McDonald Paulk / Bettie Clay Cason (F453)
4431	Some sources say 27 Feb 1799. The source cited says 20 Feb 1799.	Family: John Hill / Elizabeth Marshall (F409)
4432	Some accounts say he was born in Greene Co., TN, others in Knox Co.TN. PARENTS: could have been from TN or AL Census says he was from TN, Sarah Council's death certificate says he was from Alabama. It appears that Uriah died fairly early, leaving a wife with children. They then moved with his parents on to Arkansas. Based on the fact that Uriah's father is in Knox Co. in 1811, I might expect to find his birth there, or in Roane County where his parents were married. DEED: Uriah Allison Council (U.A. Council) bought land in Roane Co.,Tennessee. Deed is in Book G, p. 47. Based on the childrens' ages, it looks like they moved from Tennessee to Alabama between 1835 & 1837. Sarah Louise was born in AL, but her older sisters were born in TN.	Council, Uriah Allison (I2136)
4433	Some census record his birth as Arkansas, but his draft card says Mississippi.	Dickson, Walter Joseph (I2603)
4434	Some censuses list her as Bama S. I believe she could have been Stella Bama or Bama Stella. It also appears that she married a second time to Mr. Hill or Mr. Hall around 1970. But she is buried with her first husband with his name.	Tennyson, Bama (I5942)
4435	Some documents call her Alice. Others call her Alleen Anita. Her tombstone says Alline Arneta.	Wren, Alline Arneta (I6657)
4436	Some documents mistakenly refer to Wilson Carter as Nelson.	Carter, Wilson C. (I1387)
4437	Some family stories tell that he settled near Stockton, California but that must be someone else. However, if his wife remarried, then he presumably died rather than went west.	Wren, Thomas Dossey (I6758)
4438	Some family trees call her Mary Frances Elizabeth, which would fit with the 1850 census and with the fact that her daughter had 2 middle names.	Phelps, Mary F. E. (I5033)
4439	Some notes say the marriage was about 1860. This calls into question Mary's birth date.	Family: Daniel D. Moriarty / Ellen Connor (F1413)
4440	Some of Mildred and Norvelle's notes called him Roland and his son Roland Jr. However, the marriage record for Ruby Purtle says Lee Dendy. The Lee Dendy record is clearly not the right person.	Dendy, Roland (I2429)
4441	Some of the other Sartain families around Limestone county came out of Jefferson and Knox counties in Tennessee. Alfred Sartain came out of South Carolina to Alabama (Where was he in 1860, 1870, 1880?). Likewise, there were Higgs families in east Tennessee. Investigate these movements, too. Did Mary apply for a widow's pension after Thomas died? Consider strongly that Mary J. was part of Alfred M. Sartain's family listed in the 1850 Census. A number of trees on Ancestry all show that the Mary J. Sartain in Alfred's family died in 1874 in Tuscaloosa, AL after marrying a man named Shelton. While no proofs have been shown for this, I would suspect that this might *not* be the correct family for Mary Sartain. There was a Sartain family was involved with a publishing firm near Philadelphia before the Civil War. They published a magazine called_Sartain's Magazine_, but were best known for fine engravings. Old Miss has an engraving of Jefferson Davis made by Sartain Publ. Co.. I have found no evidence yet to connect the Philadelphia Sartains to this line.Probably, the Sartain magazine was called Sartain's Union Magazine of Literature and Art. This magazine was published from October 1847 until August 1852 in New York and Philadelphia. It is available on Microform in Pattee Library. We were unable to find the graves of Mary Sartain or her husband in Washington, AR. Many of the stones in the old cemetery there have been destroyed. At one point, Nannie went there with Mom and Jennie to try to find the graves. She seemed to think that the place that she recalled the graves being was in the back corner of the cemetery and could now be in the road. According to people at the Old Washington Park, many of the stones and graves have been destroyed. Is it possible that Mary remarried after the death of T.M. Higgs? N4, h2 Some sources date birth in 1837 -- MERGED NOTE ------------ I believe this to be the Mary who married T.M. Higgs, but until I prove that, I will keep these trees separate. Page Nichols tells that she recalls her ancestors telling her that Susannah Sartain (her great-grandmother) was Mary's sister and that Suannah lived with Mary & Thomas Higgs for a while. There is another Mary Jane Sartain who married Benjamin Franklin Sexton in 1856 in Tuscaloosa. However, the marriage record clearly states that she is the child of Jacob Sartain, not Alfred. That means that in addition to Jacob, father of Alfred, there is another Jacob, who is likely brother of Alfred, floating around.	Sartain, Mary J. (I5460)
4442	Some people give her a middle name of Belmont. As a result, they claim that she was the widow of John Hill rather than his daughter. Mecklenburg records prove conclusively that she was John Hill's daughter, not wife. However, the middle name has not been clearly documented.	Hill, Evalina B. (I3552)
4443	Some record Mary as Sharp, but Faver's brother John M Cason married an Ann Tharp. See Rutherford County Chancery Court loose cases. There is a case where Faver and Mary sue the rest of the descendants of her mother in an inheritance case.	Tharp, Mary H. (I5557)
4444	Some records call her Adeline R. Sears, possibly from a previous marriage.	Phillips, Adeline R. (I8527)
4445	Some records hint at a second marriage around 1850-1855 to Ann.	Deshazo, Wilkin (I2540)
4446	Some records list this as 1676.	Keith, Samuel (I8684)
4447	Some records say death was 7 Apr 1956, but death certificate says 23 Apr 1956.	Deshazo, Samuel Larkin (I2538)
4448	Some records show her death as 1984. Her tombstone records it as 1985.	Woodul, Jamie (I6641)
4449	Some records, such as her marriage record, record her as Rosanna A. F. or Rose A. F.	Boyle, Rosanna Frances (I1110)
4450	Some references call her Anna Carolina	Vickers, Anna Carolina (I6202)
