Any suggestions re: how to begin to search for death records for a Sarah (Sallie) Ake after 1870? She appears on the census in 1860 in Gumboro, in 1870 in both Gumboro and in the Pittsburg district of Wicomico ( working for the Bratten family). Other researchers have listed her as deceased after that date. I can't find any record of her deceased or otherwise. I have narrowed it down that she was the daughter of Thomas and Anda (Auda). Auda died and Thomas married Elizabeth Baker before Sarah (Sallie) was 13. It does appear that I live in Thomas D. Ake's house. I also need to see if I can locate records of the sale of this house (and the Ake's store that was on the property) from the Ake's to the Woottens (or others in between). The Beers map of 1868 shows that Isaac Wootten was here then, and had the store. Thanks for your help so far, I hope I'm not being pesky with my requests for help :) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
