Hi. I am looking for any information that might identify the parents of Sarah F. Ogletree who married Crosby D. Rainwater, June 28, 1859 (Taliaferro Co. Mar. Bk. A, p. 281). I am thinking that she MIGHT have been daughter of Richard A. and Nancy (Taylor) Ogletree but can find no proof, one way or the other. Below are the coincidental clues I've found. Any help and/or comments are truly welcome! Please post any responses to the List rather than private email. As mentioned in previous messages, Richard A. Ogletree married Nancy Taylor, Jan. 30, 1840 (Taliaferro Co., GA Mar. Bk. A, p. 124). They had three children, including a daughter Sarah. In the 1850 Greene Co. census, Sarah is listed as age 11. But this seems an error as (1) her parents were not married until 1840, and (2) the 1840 census does not show any children living in the household of Richard and Nancy Ogletree. There are a few coincidences that lead me to wonder if Sarah F. Ogletree who married Crosby D. Rainwater, might have been the daughter of Richard A. and Nancy (Taylor) Ogletree. 1. Sarah F. Ogletree, wife of Crosby D. Rainwater, was born Oct. 29, 1842, which is very close to the age of Richard Ogletree's daughter Sarah. 2. Crosby D. Rainwater who married Sarah F. Ogletree, was son of Abner and Elizabeth (Henry) Rainwater of Hancock Co., GA. 3. Edward A. Ogletree, son of Richard A. and Nancy (Taylor) Ogletree, married Emma Rebecca Rainwater, a daughter of Abner and Elizabeth (Henry) Rainwater of Hancock. Co. 4. After the death of his first wife Elizabeth (Henry), Abner Rainwater married Elizabeth (Taylor) Cox, widow of James Cox, and sister of Nancy (Taylor) Ogletree. 5. This last one rather flimsy, but Sarah and Crosby Rainwater had a number of children, including a son named Richard A. Rainwater. I have been unable to place Sarah F. Ogletree with parents and, so far, considering her age, the only family that she seems to fit in would be the family of Richard & Nancy (Taylor) Ogletree. But please keep in mind -- this HAS NOT been proven. Any help will be appreciated and comments are welcome, whether you agree or disagree with the above theory. As previously mentioned, please post any response on this List so that others working this line can be kept informed. Thanks heaps, Rhoda
