  • Name Sarah Jane JOHNS 
    Born CA 1874  Lewis Co, WV Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2] 
    • "Davis - The Settlers of Salem WV," p. 166, reports birth date as Oct 10 1871. But death record shows it as Dec 11 1870, but then gives age at death as 69y 11m 29d, which calculates to a birth date of Nov 12 1870. Headstone reads simply 1870. All that notwithstanding, age 6 in the 1880 Census puts her birth in about 1874.
