DEAR MR.CARROLL - 
 
 THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY MESSAGE. I DID FIND OUT THAT , SARAH WAS SOPHRINIA'S MOTHER.    SOPHRINIA  WAS MY GREAT GRANDFATHER'S FIRST WIFE AND THEY HAD NINE CHILDREN. (SHE MARRIED WILEY L. GOLDSTON) I WAS TRYING TO FIND OUT WHEN SHE DIED AND WHERE SHE WAS BURIED. SOMEONE ELSE DID WRITE ME AND SUGGEST , SHE DIED IN 1861. I WAS JUST TRYING TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT HER, HOW SHE DIED,  AND ANYTHING ELSE.

WILEY'S SECOND WIFE IS MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER. SHE WAS NANCY STURGIS(STURGESS).     ANY INFORMATION YOU HAVE , I WOULD GRATEFULLY APPRECIATE. AS I FEEL , SOPHRINIA DEFINATELY HAS HER PLACE IN THE GOLDSTON FAMILY. WILEY HAD  18  CHILDREN BETWEEN HIS TWO WIVES, AND MIGHT HAVE HAD MORE IF HE HAD NOT DIED. MY G-GRANDMOTHER WAS A LOT YOUNGER THAN HIM.  


    AGAIN THANK YOU,
                                                     SINCERELY,
                                                       SANDI GOLDSTON DAMRON
