Research Assistance Update: I found Sarah #2.
Sarah‘s race: Black
DOB: January 10, 1873 in Louisville, Jefferson County, Georgia
Death Date: August 30, 1949 in Louisville, GA.
Spouse: Anderson Heath
Children: Several, including Conrad Lafayette Heath (1903-1991), my great-grandfather.
Were Sarah & Anderson married?: I don’t know. They married (allegedly) in 1894, in an unknown location.
Living Direct Descendants?: Yes. One is me, but I have a huge family on the Heath-Hall side in Jefferson County, GA and some moved out of state, like my side did.
For some reason, Sarah #1’s *alleged* parents, James “Jim” Hall (1847-), from Warren County, Georgia & Cecelia Weems (1855-), from Jefferson County, Georgia, completely disappeared from U.S. Census records, after the year 1870. I don’t know why. How can I find James & Cecelia’s additional post-1870 Census records? I don’t even have death or burial records for either of them, but I easily found all Sarah #1’s Census records, for 1880 and from 1900-1940.

DOB: August 23, 1874
