Please excuse my forwarding the note I sent to Yalobusha county to the rest of you rather than retyping it, but my arthritic fingers are not too swift with this task! We know that Sarah Charlotte PITCHFORD married David SORRELS in Amite county ca 1822, that he had property and held office in Carroll county, and that they also lived in Holmes county. I haven't searched church records yet, so don't know which graveyards they could be buried in. I would appreciate any leads for Sarah Charlotte, David Sorrels, or any other Pitchfords that you can provide. Church records, cemetery inscriptions, baptisms, etc.--anything! Happy to share info on my branch of the Sorrels/Sorrells with anyone interested.

She was married first in Amite county to David SORRELS/SORRELLS and was the mother of his seven children, all born in the Holmes, Amite, Yalobusha, Carroll counties area. After David's death in 1839, Sarah Charlotte married Ellison EDWARDS ca 1841 and had three more sons. In the 1850 Holmes county census the four younger Sorrels children are living with their mother and step father in Lexington. > > It is thought that Sarah Charlotte died sometime late in the 1850's, but her exact date of death and burial site are not known. Ellison Edwards remarried twice thereafter, having additional children. >> Most of Sarah Charlotte's children by David Sorrels moved either to LA in the mid 1850's or to TX shortly thereafter. Many of them disposed of the lands they inherited from their father about that time. > > Any leads as to cemeteries where someone who died about this time might be buried would be much appreciated! I would welcome even the smallest clues! We have never found David Sorrels' grave either, and we know these people had the means to mark the graves of their loved ones. > > Thanks for your time and attention! > > > > --- J J G > > --- jjg6808@earthlink.net > > --- Genealogists--We Confuse the Dead & Irritate the Living ! > > > > --- J J G > --- jjg6808@earthlink.net > --- Genealogists--We Confuse the Dead & Irritate the Living ! --- J J G --- jjg6808@earthlink.net --- Genealogists--We Confuse the Dead & Irritate the Living !
