Sarah Weaver..67..PA
(Living with husband and 2 children.)

NOTE - If her birth date was in 1780, then her age should have been 69 or 70 instead of 67.
.



• She was buried after 24 July 1866 in the Sapp-Weaver Cemetery in Gladesville, WV.

The almost illegible gravestone supposedly says "Age 66 years" which when calculated against her date of death in 1866 would make her birth year about 1800 instead of 1780.
