According the "Armentrout Family History" by Russel S. Armentrout, William Pirkey and Sarah Earman had two children. William was born January 28, 1856 in Rockingham and died January 19, 1886 in Rockingham. Sarah Earman was born about 1861 (no place given) and died about 1935 (no place given). Their children: 1) Samuel L. Pirkey, born February 4, 1882 in Rockingham; 2) Lula Pirkey, born February 28, 1884 in Rockingham (confirmed by birth record) and died February 6, 1965. Lula was unmarried and left a will in which she named the children of Samuel Pirkey as her beneficiaries (from the Armentrout book). I am having a copy of the will sent to me I am in contact with a researcher who believes she is a a descendant of Samuel L. Pirkey. Everything seems to check out with some minor problems. The children in this family match the names given in Lula's will. I cannot find Sarah Earman Pirkey in the 1900 Rockingham County census. She must have remarried. Is anyone familiar with her? Believe I found her daughter Lula in the 1900 census, and her son Samuel probably had left the state by that date. Any help would be appreciated. Maggie Kyger Miller
