Sarah Richardson/Itawamba, MS
We have had a "Sarah Unknown" in our family for some time,
and I recently found a transcription of Marriage Book 2
for Itawamba Co, MS, that listed a marriage on 9/1/1846
of Sarah Richardson to John T Coo_y, performed by James C Gilstrap, JP.
This is the exact date we had for the marriage of John
Thomas Covey and Sarah.John Thomas Covey born 9/17/1818
in Hardin Co, TN, died 7/9/1879 in Guntown, Lee, MS.
Sarah was born 9/11/1830 in Alabama, died 10/16/1920 in
Guntown, Lee, MS.She is buried with three of her sons
in Campbelltown Cemetery just outside Guntown.
They had the following children:
Nancy Jane1847 - 1848
Mary E1849 - 1860
James Russell 1852 - 1889 (Buried at Campbelltown
Cemetery)
Isham Matthew 1853 - 1932(Buried Whitefield, OK)
Benjamin C1856 - 1942(Buried Forest Park Cem,
Fort Smith, AR)
Marion Morgan 1859 - 1934(Buried at Campbellton
Cemetery)
John Wesley1861 - 1936(Buried Oakland Cemetery,
Poteau, OK)
Robert Lee1867 - 1918(Buried Campbelltown
Cemetery)
Cullen Franklin 1869 - 1871
I believe Sarah may be the daughter of Mathias and
Tabitha Richardson and would appreciate any feedback to
either verify this or disprove it.
Thanks
Charlotte Covey
