Notes

NOTE RC: When Sarah was about 11 years old in 1804, her father died. Court records show that she requested William Henry Pledger be appointed as her guardian. Within five years, Sarah married William G. Steed, by whom she had a son, W. G. Steed, Jr. Shortly after Mr. Steed's death, Sarah married William H. Pearson and had three daughters by 1818, the year William Henry died. Around 1820, Sara married her third husband, Daniel Britton, one of the administrators of her estate. Through poor management, her estate was considerably reduced. Sarah appears in the 1830 census without a husband. She did not remarry and appears in the 1840 census with two of her daughters.
