Documentation notes

• 1880 census: There is a Sarah Blackstock born 1845 residence in Oak Grove, Fulton, Georgia. Living at the home of William W. Blackstock, Head of Household. Relationship: Wife. Source: FamSearch 1880 Census report on Sarah Blackstock DOB 1845. This is very odd. In 1880, Sarah would be 35 years old, but purportedly she has married Simeon Dean.
  • Theory1: there are two Sarah Blackstocks. One is a Blackstock via her father Wilson Blacksock (1812). The second is a Blackstock via her husband William W. Blackstock. Both happen to be born in 1845, and both are from Georgia.
  • Theory2: Sarah Blackstock Married Simeon Dean after being married to Wilson Blackstock. Her father was not Wilson Blackstock.

• 1880 Census:

2. 1850 census says Sarah came from N.C. Ok- enumerate the humphrey families there.

4. Any obits from Sarah-
