2. I had found information on Sarah and William early in my researchbut could never come up with proof of their relationship to our familyuntil I came across the newspaper article. Now I seem to have discardedthe information (probably one day out of frustration!) so I will have tosee if I can locate it once more. I recall they were in Michigan aftertheir marriage.
