Kathleen, I am not aware of any daughter Sarah Ellen Chinn in the family Rawleigh Chinn and Easter Ball. I am glad you typed the name as Easter which is how she signed her will, and how every record save one spells it.

Above information from Hayden's Virginia Genealogies. There is a reference to SARAH HEALE and ELLEN HEALE so it appears to be one in the same person..... who is the HEALE she married though? Don't know where my McCarty husband came from it is clearly a HEALE she married. I must have confused someone when typing information in.
