ANN SARAH or "SADIE" is the daughter of GEORGE DOWNS and SARAH ANN HAYES. "SADIE" was born at Angel Place, Black Friar's Court, Dog's Island, London, England.
"SADIE" emigrated to America with her parents on the ship "Constantine" from London in June, (7 weeks journey).
"If I danced for the ship's captain he would give me bread without 'wiggles'," explained Grandma Knapp as she was recounting her voyage to the United States. (In case you haven't guessed, she meant worms.) She and her family sailed from England on April 18, 1870 on the CONSTANTINE.
Ann Sara Hayes Downs lived at Angel Place, Black Friar's Court, Dog's Island, London, England. This was an estuary that extended out into the Thames, but no longer exists. An older brother of her father had emigrated to Shelby, Ohio and the family followed later, settling in Ashland. A six-week journey on the sailing vessel CONSTANTINE must have been a real adventure. Each family provided its own provisions and food for the long journey, so whenever the captain asked young Sadie to sing English ballads for her and to dance jigs, it brought great joy to the family.
SADIE married GEORGE MICHAEL KNAPP, son of MICHAEL KNAPP and MAGDALENA MELHEIM/MUHLHEIM, on June 29, 1881, at Lutheran Parsonage, 601 Cottage Street, Ashland, Ohio.
