    1. [OHROSS] Sarah A. MAY & Henry HICKLE, Jr.
    2. Tank Girl
    3. My 4th G-Grandmother, Sarah A. MAY (b. 1832 in OH; d. 26 Nov 1915), married (7 Jun 1854 in Ross Co) Henry HICKLE, Jr. (b. 26 Feb 1826 in OH; d. 27 Oct 1919). They had a daughter, Althea Jane HICKLE (b. 17 Mar 1858) who later married Chauncey Sebastian FOUST. According to at least one piece of genealogical research, it shows that Sarah died while Althea was very young and Henry remarried...to a Sarah A. REEDY when Althea was really young. I know for a fact that Sarah MAY did not die as I have a picture of her as an elderly woman (posed with her sisters). Family legend says that she was the first woman in the state of Ohio to file for a divorce. I honestly don't know if that part is true, but a divorce seems to make sense that the HICKLE family (at that time) would say she'd died instead of face the "scandal" of a divorce initiated by a woman. I know that Sarah did remarry also...to a WHIPP (possibly a Daniel WHIPP). My request for help is if anyone else on the list has any other possible info regarding Sarah A. MAY and also Chauncey Sebastian FOUST. I know Chauncey was born in Ohio and had a brother named William E. Foust. Chauncey and my 3rd G-Grandmother were married in Kingston, OH and later ended up in El Paso, TX. They had 3 children, Minnie (died young), Minor, and Sarah. Sorry about the long, winding post and much appreciation for any help that can be given. Jamie A. Mustain Portland, OR
