I am sending the following information which I had in my data on Moses and Persis Westbrook, from Chronicles of Pitt County, North Carolina. They are listed as parents of Sally Westbrook who married Abraham Darden. Her birthdate is the same as the Sarah you listed from the Prowell (or is it Powell?) bible. I wonder if Persis was a Prowell/Powell??
