Hi Mary...yes it is your ancestor Sarah Gray Hyde Jennings who is so close in age and in location to my great-grandmother Sarah E. Hyde that until I did some census work on them I realized they could not be the same person.The reason being that your Sarah was living in her fathers household on the 1880 census and my Sarah was in a neighboring county with her husband Robert Bolin Lewter.Researching her is making me crazy.She states on these Civil War Pension papers that she lived in Texas 50 years, and she was 55 at the time of this statement so she was 5 or 6 whe she came to Texas from Arkansas which is where she says she was born. She lived most of her life in or near Tyler, Texas in Smith County though I know for a time they followed other family members into OK to try to save the cattle herd from an anthrax outbreak.I know they lived for a time in Cooke County in the town of Dexter which was where my grandfather John Henry Lewter was born in the 1880's.Then they moved back to Tyler where they both lived until their deaths in 1913 and 1914.They are buried in Tyler.I have never found my Sarah on any census records before 1880, her parents are not mentioned on her death certificate.I have not found her family on the 1860 census in either ARK or Tex.Due to the location and migration patterns I suspect she is the child of one of the bbrothers or cousins of Anthony Gray Hyde.But then she could be descended from the New YOrk Hydes some of who did head to Texas.But I am going nuts trying to figure out who her parents were.She was married before at a very young age to someone whose last name was Franklin and she was widowed as she Was Sarah Hyde Franklin when she Married my great grandfatherin 1876.Trying to discover her origins is making me tear my hair out.I can't even find marriage records between a Hyde and Franklin in any data base.If she was in Texas since about 1860 why can't I find her parents???There were Hydes in Tyler but nothing showing their relationships and nothing to shaw any possible links betwwn her and they. ??? Sigh.I am not sure if there are any land records or wills to help either.
