Sarah or Elzina Painter - Illinois
My 3g-grandmother Sarah Elzina (--?--) b. 11 Jul 1830 IL, d. 16 Jan 1919 CA. Married Albert Henry HENSON in Franklin Co IL.
She lived in Franklin Co IL, then Jack Co TX, finally Los Angeles Co CA.
Her marriage record gives her surname as MANNERING (I believe actually her step-father's surname.)
Her own death certificate gives her mother's name as Sarah PAINTER. One son's death certificate gives Elzina's surname as TEFFERTELLER, another as TAYLOR, and one daughter as PAINTIER.
I find in Greene Co IL James MANNERING m. Sarah TAYLOR 18 Aug 1840. They later lived in Franklin Co IL.
She had a daughter by a previous marriage, Narcissa TAYLOR. In Greene Co IL, Elisha TAYLOR m. Sarah PAINTER 30 Nov 1835. This would be the appropriate date for daughter Narcissa's birth.
But did she have a previous marriage to a PAINTER, or was that her maiden name?
Census records indicate Elzina thought her father was born in Ohio. Any help would be appreciated.
