To answer your question, yes, we are off one generation here. In other words, S. William BROUGHTON, Sr. (b. 4 DEC 1784, Buncombe Co., NC) and wife Elizabeth NICHOLSON (b. 1789 in NC) are *my* Sarah's parents. In fact, I have photos of their gravestones (Broughton Plot - Friendship Baptist Church Cemetary in Stinking Creek - Hammond, KY). NOTE: Elizabeth Nicholson did not die until 1875 (though some researchers erroneously show pre-1860 ... probably based on inference from census info) Yes, I also show that Sarah "Sally" married John HIGNITE on 15 JAN 1829 in Knox Co. and Susannah married John BRIGHT, Sr. betw. 1830-1833. I also show that they had 3 more siblings: - John BROUGHTON who married Sarah PAYNE in 1830; [not sure about this ref. to Mariah/Almira SCALF ..??] - Stacy BROUGHTON who married James HAMMONS in 1835, and lastly my own GGG-grandfather ... - William BROUGHTON, Jr. who married Mariah GREEN 6 SEP 1832 in Knox County, KY.
