Thanks, Jan, for letting me eliminate with your info. I too search for Sarah JONES. Mine is born about 1820 {could be born in SC} and is recorded in 1860 in TN/GA Blue Ridge area, has children with her (Eliza, Flora, James/Henry, Stacy) in 1860 but no husband. Later (between 1870-1880) she married Mr. Stafford. She died as Sarah Stafford in 1896, buried in Mobile Cemetery, right around the GA/TN border Fannin/Polk Counties.
