Sarah Sally Shrum born about 1811, married John Sipes, Jr. Oct 18, 1829 in Cape Girardeau, Mo. They moved to Atchison Co Mo then to Arkansas. John had a Sister Catherine who married first Daniel Hoffman, secondly Richard Waits. You might also try looking in Perry Co, Mo 1830 Census where a number of the surnames I mention here can be found, including the Shrum's. John Sipes Jr and Sarah Sally Shrum had four children that I know of: William, Francis, Percy and Nancy E. There was one other Shrum in Atchison Co, Henry Shrum also married a Mary Waits. Don't have any more on these people but hope this is some help to you. S
