Patricia, Philander Child(s) is a younger brother of Sarah's that she raised since Lewis and her left NY. Philander was the youngest of 11 children in that family. The mother of Sarah and Philander died prior to them leaving NY. As for Lewis Day, Eliza and David W. Day were a sister and brother to my Lewis Day. As for David S. Force marrying a third(?) time, all I can think of is that he would have had a divorce from my Sarah (Child) Day before he married for the third time. The reason is that my Sarah didn't die until 1888. Maybe that is why her death record had her name Sarah Day. Does Jennings Co. have divorce records from that time period before David Force supposedly married a third time? After I sent the first e-mail to you, I found another photcopy of a record to tie in Sarah with David Force. It is a probate record I found in Schuyler Co., NY on Medad Child, another younger brother of Sarah. For just a short excerpt, it states, "...next of kin of the said Medad Childs deceased, are Daniel Childs of Indiana, Henry Childs of Illinois, John Childs of Ohio, William B. Childs of Michigan, Philander Childs of Indiana, Mary wife of Hiram Whitcomb of Indiana, Sarah wife of David S. Force of Indiana, Ann wife of Anson Whitcomb, Louisa Ross wife of Elia Ross and daughter of Roswell Sheperd of this state, and Lewis D. Little, Anail (sp?) P. Little and Moses E. Little all of Schuyler Co., New York. " I think this is very positive connection to our people in Jennings Co., IN. I still need to find out where Sarah may have been buried. Does anybody know?
