Sarah was the daughter of Jarrot Edwards and Rebecca Bell of Edgefield County, SC. She is the great-great-granddaughter of Thomas Edwards. She married George Washington Sadler and bore nine children by him (possibly more) before he died from smallpox in 1862 as a Confederate soldier in Mississippi and was buried there in an unmarked, lost grave.

Note: the 1880 census shows Sarah as widowed head of household with three children living with her: Mary, Josephine, and Major. The 1870 census lists Sarah's children as: Thomas 23; Alonzo (?) 19 [this must have been a nephew of Sarah's as there is no other mention of this name in any list]; Mary 17; Josephine (Josie) 15; Elizabeth 12; George (Jr) 12; and Columbus (Robert) 10. Clearly Elizabeth and George Jr are twins. The 1860 census shows the family as they first arrived in AL from SC: George Sr. 52, Sarah 38, Green 14, Thomas 13, Harriett 11, May (Mary) 10, Joyce (Joicy) 5, George (Jr) & Elizabeth 3, and (Robert) Columbus 1. One Bible record lists George & Sarah's children twice: once including Major and the second time George Jr. So I surmise that Jr was called Major. It also includes May, which could be Mary. No other references to Josephine or Alonzo have been found--unless Joyce/Joice is actually Josephine (Jocie).
The 1900 census shows Sarah living with son, Robert C. She is listed as widowed and 80 years old. It says she is the mother of 6 children, 5 of whom are alive when the census is taken. As shown above, the 1860 census shows them with 8 children, which is correct. Anyone with more factual information on this family is urged to contact Ray Bobo ([email protected]).
