• Notes

  Mary and Amy were likely twins. Amy died at age 6 years. Looking into the possibility that Nicholas was married to Sarah's older sister Mary Ann CALDWELL first. They are closer in age than Nicholas and Sarah. And since Mary Ann died in 1846, it fits well. Another possibility: Mary and Amy could have been Sarah's children from a previous marriage. She named her first child Sarah. (after her mother?)
