• Notes

  Married: Confusion as to whether Sarah, or her sister Jane, married John Markham Herbert has existed for years due to an erroneous entry, dated 2 August 1765, in the records of Isle of Wight County, Virginia. The clerk incorrectly noted "Jane" as the wife of John Markham Herbert when listing a Chancery Suit against John Wills. An examination of the listing of the same suit on 6 April 1764 and then on 5 October 1766 makes it evident that the wife of John was Sarah, and not Jane. The couple married after 5 August 1755, the settlement date of Sarah's guardian account, but before 29 January 1763, the date on which John and Sarah sold 200 acres of property to Charles Driver in Isle of Wight County. The property was part of Sarah inheritance.
