I checked the census records to see what might be there. I didn't find them in the 1870 at first, so I looked in the 1880. Then I went back to the 1870 and found a family where the spelling is close and I believe may be the same family. I then went to 1900. I will start with 1870 and transcribe them in order.
1870 Jackson co TX, Wharton, pg 465
J.K. Wilkelins 25 TX
S.E. f 5 TX
J.H. m 3 TX
S.M. f 1/12 TX (should this be S.J.??)
M.J. m 25 TX
Note there is no wife listed and the youngest female child (who I suspect may be Sarah Jane) is only 1 month old...could it be that her mother died at her birth?? You will notice in the next census (1880) that the older female child is not listed...did she die...or did she marry young??

Based on the census it appears that Sarah's father was James Wilkins, her mother may have died at her birth, and her father married Elizabeth about 1873.
Note: Sarah's second husband, Robert Friar, is listed in the 1900 census as age 28 living with his brother, George Friar in DeWitt co TX
So far I haven't found Sarah in later census'. If I come across something I will post again.
Hope this helps.
