Your post set me to pokin' around to see what I could find that might help. Using resources at Ancestry,com & family search.org, I think I've figured out the "Rader to Mabry" connection. Actually it appears to be a Mabry to Maupin connection. You can check this stuff in Pickaway County OH but your assumption that Allie Roszella was Sarah's mother seems spot on as she appears to be a younger sister of the Sarah Maupin that married William A. Rader in Pickaway County in 1874. Both seem to belong to Shidrick Maupin as Sarah(of the right age) is in the 1860 census and Ella (in 1870 at age 0) and Rosella in 1880 at 10. So it was actually your Sarah Mabry's aunt (and namesake?) that she went to live with after Allie's death in 1895. By the 1885 state census, both W.A, & Sarah Rader and Charles Mabry Family including Sarah's seeming father Joel Edward M! abry are in Rock Creek township. Allie Rosella's "arrival" time (probably after the death of her parent[s])is not apparent but there's likely a marraige record around this area some place(I'll do some checking). Check and verify if it's what it seems to me. Hope it helps........Darwin Newton (denewton@sktc.net) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
