Perhaps Sabra comes from the Hebrew Bible. In the current day vernacular, Sabra is what native-born Israelis call themselves.

She married my GGG-Grandpa John Rouse born 1790 North Carolina. Believe they came from Moore Co. North Carolina. They had at least one son Ely Rouse born 1826 North Carolina before they moved to Georgia (the state). between 1826 and 1829. Sabra is a very beautiful and unusual name , we were trying to place It's origin. Thank you for any input you may have . Sorry I don't have a lot of info on the North Carolina period, we haven't been researching long. Deborah ==== CHOCTAW-SOUTHEAST Mailing List ==== Need more CHOCTAW information.
