In 1850 Halifax Co. VA census I find a Sarah Younger, evidently a widow, she has $2000. value of real estate, born VA with Sarah A. Younger 16 VA and Mary N(?) Terry, 44 VA living with her. Would she be the Sarah Terry who married John Younger, son of Williamson and Mary Bomar Younger? Wilma

Sarah Terry and John Younger married 8 Oct 1830. She and John had a daughter they named Sarah in 1834 - exactly right for your census (16). The mother was born in 1810 so she was 40. Her husband had been dead only two years at the taking of the 1850 census. I suspect Mary Terry is a maiden sister or a widowed sister in law who came to live with her during her widowhood. It would have been a good arrangement for both of them - whoever Mary was. Wilma Norton wrote: > In 1850 Halifax Co.
