Wow, this is weird.I have the same exact names, but only in Houston County, Georgia. I was doing some research on an old Etheridge homeplace there.Sarah G. Scarborough, daughter of G.W. Scarborough (1810-1880) married Calvin Etheridge.They had several children, one being Frank Scarborough Etheridge ... I'm not sure when he was born.In the county history, it states that Sarah was widowed during the Civil War.Also, I found a Guardian Bond in 1870, which lists Sarah as the guardian, and Calvin as being deceased ... also, Frank Scaroborough Etheridge as an orphan. From 1895 to 1914, Sarah is collecting a widow's pension for Calvin's military service, and says that Calvin died in 1897.
Calvin Etheridge was supposedly killed at the Battle of Perryville, Ky in Oct. 1862.Here is what Sarah claimed on her widow's pension: Calvin Etheridge married her in 1861 - died Nov 25 1897.Can anyone help me to clear this up?
