I would Love to exchange info with you on these families. Mary, Sarah's younger sister, was my ggg grandmother. Her daughter, Virginia Ruth Vann, was my gg grandmother through her daughter, Louise Branch. Mary married James Vann. The information I have is that she died in Sampson Co after contracting an illness while assisting a physician with his patients. I have been given dates ranging from 1862-1864 for her death. I would love to find more information about her. The 1870 census shows James married to a Sarah and 1880 census shows him married again to another Mary. Virginia married William McNeal Branch in Cumberland Co. She died in 1926 . I have a copy of her marriage license and death certificate. She was a nurse/midwife. I have photos of her also. Louise married Robert Louis Rhodes. They had 5 sons. I knew her very well. She played the piano beautifully by ear. My mother has her piano. She had 5 sons but no daughters. My mom was the oldest granddaughter and I'm the oldest great granddaughter. I would love to talk with you further. Please let me know when you are able to receive email and I'll send you info on our line of that family. Another descendent and I have found that our lines both have people with facial features which resemble Virginia's. I'm curious to see if others in this line do also.
