Sarah Jane Williams

Born: November 1878 in Texas, USA

Married: 30 March 1902 to Benjamin Deberry (Luther?) Blount Hopkins county, Texas, USA

Children: Gertie Mae Blount (1907), Verna Serena Blount (1911), Willis Edmond Blount (1913)

Died: 31 January 1949 in Ft. Worth, Tarrant county, Texas, USA

Note

I'm confident that Sarah was born in 1878 despite her death certificate listing it as Nov 3, 1873. This is due to her appearance in the 1880 census as a 1 year old, her being a twin (known by family lore) and so being born in Nov 23, 1878 as her sister is listed. I suspect that the type written death certificate was copied from bad handwriting. Nov 3, 1873 and Nov 23, 1878 look physically similar. Update: Confirmed now with 1900 census. Listed birthday as Nov 1878.
