Sarah HORTON is the wife of Alexander COCKRELL, who is the son of Joseph & Sally Hunt COCKRELL.
Have you read Bella Hughes' postings on the COCKRELL-L Mailing List archived over at Rootsweb.com?
It's been over a year since I have, but if my memory is accurate, I believe that she made quite a few postings about Mary VARDEMAN.
It's very difficult to keep this huge family straight, so many members have the same names -- so inaccuracies about them are ubiquitous all over the Internet.
I think that Jim Burgesses family tree is accurate, I've posted just a tiny snippet below, along with a couple other links with different information.
Your ancestor Nancy COCKRELL is the first child of Joseph COCKRELL and his third wife, Nancy ELLIS.

About 1805 he moved to Kentucky, where he engaged in breeding and dealing in livestock. During the
War of 1812 he served in Colonel Richard M. Johnson's Kentucky Regiment. Desiring more land in order to enlarge his livestock business, Joseph went to western Missouri in 1829, and there entered about 4,500 acres of land. He then returned to Kentucky to wind up his affairs there. In the spring of 1831 he moved his family, with all their goods and chattels, to their new home in Missouri. Western Missouri was then being rapidly settled, and in 1834 Johnson County was organized. Joseph Cockrell was elected its first sheriff. At that time his family consisted of his wife Nancy (daughter of Benjamin ELLIS and Hannah IRVINE), five daughters, a two year-old son Jeremiah Vardaman (called"Vard"), and an older son Alexander by a previous marriage. He died November 3, 1837 in Johnson County, Missouri.
