She was the wife of David Picklesimer. She was the mother of Isadus, James, Eliza, Isadore, and Margaret Picklesimer. She was the daughter of Archibald Prater and Sarah Martha Fugate.
It has been handed down in the family that her first son, Elijah was born out of wedlock. He was said to be the son of David Picklesimer, who did not marry Sally until much later in his life, and when Elijah was about 5 years old. Elijah went to live with his Uncle William Prater at about the age of 15. In 1832 Sarah gave permission for her son Elijah Prater to marry Jemima Patrick. He is probably the man listed in the 1850 census of Madison Co, AR, Heilburn Twp, family #226. Elijah was mentioned in his grandfather, Archibald Prater's Will... "Elijah Prater, son of my daughter Sally." GBP
Isodore and James Picklesimer are also named as grandsons of Archibald, sons of daughter Sally, in Archibald's Will.
According to later census records, Sarah "Sally" (Prater) "P'Simer", was born in Virginia. At the time of the 1850 census for Floyd County, Kentucky, Sarah reported her age as being "50", thereby indicating that she was born about the year 1800. At the time of her marriage she stated that she was "22 years of age", thus indicating that she was born about the year 1794 or early 1795. Apparently Sarah had added a few years to her age in the affidavit for the marriage license and subtracted a few years at the time of the 1850 U.S. Census, since the headstone at her grave shows 1797 as the year of her birth.
Sarah's father, Archibald Prater, has been named as a member of the early party of Pioneers who established the first settlement - Prater's Fort or Licking Station - on the upper Licking River near what is now Salyersville, in Magoffin County, Kentucky. He was a Revolutionary War veteran, having enlisted in the Virginia Line September 11, 1780, and serving for a period of eighteen months.
Sarah "Sally" (Prater) Picklesimer did not marry again after the death(?) of David. She did have other children in addition to Elijah Prater, Jr., and Isadus and James Picklesimer. The five known additional children were "Picklesimers" not because they were children of David, but due to the fact "Sally" did not re-marry.
