Another one of my 3rd
gt-grandmothers was Sarah Lollar. According to the 1850 census she
was born in South Carolina. It gives her age as 46 which would
indicate a birth year of about 1804. However the age brackets in the
1830 and 1840 census show a female born between 1790 and 1800, so I
estimate her birth year as about 1799.
By 24 Dec 1818 she was living in
Franklin County Indiana because that is where she married Thomas
Brown. She had at least two children with him: Isaac and Catherine.
I have not found a record about what happened to Thomas, but on 20
Aug 1823, Sarah married Thomas O'Neal, as his second wife. With this Thomas Sarah had 14 children, so altogether that makes 16 children
for her. According to a family record her husband Thomas O'Neal died
in 1847. Sometime before the 1850 census, she along with some of her
children moved to Bartholomew County Indiana. Seven of the children
were listed in her household including my 2nd
gt-grandfather, Commodore Perry O'Neal. The family record shows her
death date as 17 Apr 1854.
Much of the information about
this family comes from a family record which is said to have been
kept by James Albert O'Neal, one of Sarah's grandsons. I do
appreciate my cousin, Linda Wyatt, who shared this information with
me. This is from one of the pages from that record.
