Morgan wasn't created until 1833, but it might have been in Cooper county, which was the parent county for Morgan. I've got a descendancy chart that gives Sarah's younger sister, Elizabeth, as being born in Cooper county in 1828, so that makes it even more likely that it was there. Found this chart on the internet looking for the family of Obediah Howard. I don't know how accurate the chart is. This was far enough afield that I haven't checked it out. My husband's great-great grandparents were married in Cooper county on 30 Jan 1831, by Jacob Chism, Sarah's father. He was on the roles of the Concord church as one of the ministers or perhaps elders, according to early Baptist history. I'd bet he performed the ceremony for his daughter, too.
