The birth and deathdates for Sarah Ann are an approximation and are based on census records and data compiled on the family.
Sarah Ann Jordan was the 3rd wife of William Thomas Craig. She was the mother of 3 daughters, Connie, Emslie, and Lula; and 4 sons, William T., Jr., Joseph James, Alma Porter, and George W.Craig; she was also stepmother to 1 daughter, Amanda Addie Craig.
I believe Sarah died sometime after the birth of her last son was born in 1894. They lived in Mill Creek, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory (Johnston county, Oklahoma) at that time. According to W.T., he relocated to Howard County, Arkansas in 1896. Sarah does not appear on the 1900 census with him He is listed as a "widower". Sarah hasn't been found in any of the local cemetaries in Howard county, Arkansas. Unless she is buried in an unmarked grave. More likely than not, she was buried in Mill Creek prior to William's move to Arkansas.
It's important to note that there are two sites for the Mill Creek Cemetary. The Old Mill Creek cemetary which was located on the Jack Penner Ranch and the New Mill Creek, which is "located 4 miles east of the old site and 1 mile east of the Mill Creek Post Office on Old Mill Creek Road, next to a large white water tower". I discovered that due to erosion, the Mill Creek cemetary was moved in 1901 to a second location. At that time, there was no gravesites listed for a "Craig" in this cemetary. A man named Dennis Muncrief transcribed the markers found at Mill Creek Cemetary and posted his findings online at Internment.com and at the Johnson county, Oklahoma website. Under "MISC", Mr. Muncrief listed a footer with the intials of "S.C." on it. I STRONGLY believe that this footer could be Sarah's marker. Two sons returned to that area upon reaching adulthood--Porter and Joseph Craig (Perhaps William Jr. returned as well). It's very possible that Sarah's sons placed that footer there for their mother.
