I am hoping someone can help me locate info on the mother of my gggrandmother Roxie Danna Adams Carter b 3/31/1898 in possibly Ferrum. Her father was Franklin Carter s/o John Quincy Carter and Elizabeth Hale and her mother was Sarah Lewis Adams. Frank and Sarah were never married. It is said that she came from a poor family and was pushed around from place to place, and worked as a seamtress for a wealthy family in Franklin Co. She had 5 children all with different fathers; Roxie Adams, Cody Adams and an Odie Adams are the only 3 names I have. When Sarah was in her late 40's to 50 she married a man by the name of Frank? Thomas who was from a very well off family and they disowned him because of this marriage. Sarah died Sarah Lewis Thomas about 1955 in Ferrum and is supposed to be buried in Ferrum. In an old family tree I located it had Sarah's parents as Louis or Lewis Young and Sally Rakes, but I thinking this could of been grandparents. If anyone recognizes any of these families I would really appreciate any help you can give. Thank you, Susan
