Jean, thanks so much for the information. I did not have a husband for Parthenia Jane. I actually don't have a great deal on Sarah's family. Sarah's father John Ashley married a second time after his first wife(Sarah Coleman)died. He married a Temprance DICKERSON. She is living with Lewis and Saran in 1870.
