I have lots of information on her. She was born 27 January 1837, probably in St. Catharines, Grantham Twp, Lincoln Co, Ontario, Canada, and died 23 January 1910, probably in West Bend, Iowa. She is buried in the West Bend Cemetery, Palo Alto County, Iowa. Her parents were Thomas Oxborrow and Jane Fruer. She married Eli Chauncey Vandecar on 22 April 1854 in Woodstock or Blandford, Oxford County, Ontario. (Both Sarah and Eli sometimes reversed their first and middle names.) He was born 5 June 1829 and died 10 February 1905, and was also buried in the West Bend Cemetery. His parents were Benjamin Vandecar and Mary Fitch. Sarah Jane and Eli had 9 children, three of whom died young and two who died as young adults. The remaining four children all moved to Iowa. Sarah and Eli moved to Iowa sometime after April 1881 (birth of last child in Canada) and before the 1890 US census; family tradition sug! gests they moved in the early 1880's. Sarah Ellen Vandecar was born in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada on 30 April 1863. She was the third child. She died in Sioux City, Woodbury County, Iowa on 5 or 6 August 1926 and was buried in Magnolia, Harrison County, Iowa. She married William Adam Robinson on 21 December 1887 in Hampton, Franklin County, Iowa. William died 26 October 1928 in Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie County, Iowa, and was buried with his wife. They had four children: Mary, Earl, John and Irene. Mary married Everett Gamet and had two children, Bruce and Vida. Interestingly, Sarah Jane's third sister, Susanna, married Abraham/Abram Winegarden, son of George Winegarden and Elizabeth Housser. Is Abraham Winegarden related to Mary Jane Winegarden, your GGgrandfather's sister? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
