My ggg-grandmother Sarah Bray may have been kin of Hannah's, possibly her sister. My gg-grandfather, James Simmons , married Sarah's daughter Sarah Ann in Marion Co. May 2, 1847. They moved to Dale Co., Al. by 1860 and James' mother-in-law Sarah, was reported in the household. Her age was listed as 60 and her state of birth was SC. The daughter Sarah was born 1832 in Ga according to the same census. I have not researched this line beyond this scarce info. I am curious if there is a connection or if you may have came across any info concerning this line during your searching. Looking forward to hearing from you. Don summers [email protected]
