that on

Sarah

Quincy,

Sarah

>#3 Ellis b. 1860

>#4 Soledia/Saleta

>#5 Martha b. 1863 MS d. Mobile Co., AL

>#9 Sharkey b. 1875 MS

no

the

children as:
>Isabella aged 12, Ellis aged 10 (male), Selida aged 8, Martha aged
6,
>Eugena aged 4, and Gabriel (or Savilla) aged 3/12. No mention of any
of the

all

either
