• Notes

  Died at age 78 years, 5 months, 12 days ----------------------------- This is Sarah's second marriage. I believe Holmes is her married name and we do not know her maiden name. Marion P Wood and Sarah Holmes were married September 13, 1858 and she was 73 and he was some over 25, not yet 26 when she married him so that she could leave per property to him since he had worked for her and she had no children to leave it to - she died four years and a little over five months after they married. I was told about Mrs. Holmes by Mother who was a granddaughter of Marion P Wood and Melvina B Dyche who he married December 26, 1865 in Clarke County, Georgia. reference: Mildred Burton (Stansell) Vaughn (AAA BCC2 CBA) [ reference 314B-1 thru 314B-3 for copy of Bible Records]
