Gilbert Stovall and Sarah Sanderson AL/TN
Dear Stovall Folks,
What can you tell me about Gilbert STOVALL b. ABT 1835 (SC?) and Sarah A. Sanderson b. ABT 1839 in AL who married Gilbert STOVALL 12/22/1857 in Lincoln Co TN?
I am mostly interested in Sarah Ann Sanderson because of her connection to the MARTIN and RUSSELL families.She was living with George and Patience MARTIN in the 1850 census but no relationship was given. Could she be a granddaughter? 1857 marriage records show Sarah married Gilbert STOVALL on 12/22/1858, performed by William Russell Martin, JP.William Russell MARTIN was George and Patience's son.Note: Sarah named one of her sons George Thomas Stovall (after George MARTIN and Thomas RUSSELL?) and her second son William Russell Stovall (after William Russell Martin?) and one of her daughters Nancy Patience (after Patience Russell MARTIN?).These families are intertwined somehow.It is too coincidental.
Thanks to anyone who can offer some clues.
Teresa
