Sarah Jane Carter was previously married to someone surnamed "Gary."She was married as Sarah Gary to James Bellah (the index says "Bellark") in Meriwether County, GA, 20 Sep 1852.She had two sons, John Henry Gary and William W. Gary.John died 24 Dec 1863 and William died 01 Jun 1864, presumably in the Civil War. They are buried in the same cemetery with James Bellah's first wife, Elizabeth, the Carter-Phillips Cemetery in Meriwether County, GA. In 1860, the Gary boys are living with her parents in Meriwether County, GA.I have not found the given name of her first husband. Since this family was connected before Sarah Carter Gary married James W. Bellah, I think they may have been related.
