William Sarah Parsons after 1800Kentucky. Sarah (daughter of Ann) about 1770 Greenbrier County, Virginia; 14 Mar 1852Bath County, Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Residence: 23 Jul 1850, Bath County, Kentucky

Notes:

Name:
Other sources suggest: Elizabeth McQueen with a marriage date of 29 July 1789 in Fauquier County, VA. Reference of that marriage does exist as happening between 29-30 July, 1789 and one of the references lists Elizabeth's father as John McQueen.

An 1852 death record of a Sarah Smith can be found in Bath County, Kentucky. A copy of the record is available here on this page and at Ancestry.com.

Birth:
Greenbrier County is now a part of West Virginia.

Notes:

Married:
Sarah's first husband, Joseph Turner, died in Kentucky sometime before November 1800.

Notes:

There is an Ann Parsons on the Greenbrier County, Virginia Personal Property Tax List of 1782. I did not see any other Parsons in this county in 1782. If this is the same Ann as included on this profile page then it indicates the probably death of a spouse in or shortly before this tax year.

Note to self: Garrett Green and Israel Meadows are on the same image which includes two register book pages. Garrett and Israel are on the second register book page in this image. (DJS).

Name:
This name comes from an 1852 Death Record of Sarah Smith in Bath County, Kentucky. The full name given on the record is "Ann Parsons". Other researchers indicate that Sarah Smith was married twice, first to a Turner and then to a William Smith. If correct, then Sarah Smith's father's surname was parsons and Ann's married name was Parsons.
