Jacob Abshear & Walter Brown are the signers on the petition for the License of Marriage in the sum of five hundred pounds. Walter Brown was Jacob Abshers' grandfather. The next documentation where Sallie's name appears is in 1850 census record. She is recorded to be (age 36) She lives with her husband "Jacob Absher" and seven children, "Alfred or Alford" age 16, "Benjamin" age 17, "Owen" age 14, "Caroline" age 12, "Evaline" which is '"Charity Emaline or Evaline Absher" age 10, Her name appears differently on records but is the same person. "Jane" or Virginia age 8 as her name appears in different records but is the same person, "Leams" which is Linny or Leanis as her name appears in different records but is the same person. The family lives as (indicated by the record) Wilkes, NC. The record also shows Sarah Hall Absher & her family were born in Wilkes, NC. The census of 1860 records Sallie as age 46, One of her sons "Alfred Absher" has married . He lives with his wife "Sarah Durham Absher" & his baby daughter "America" age 8 months, a short distance from his parents Sarah & Jacob. Sarah & Jacob have 9 children living at home. The new additions to the family are "William" age 9 "Candis" age 6 and my gr grandfather "Lewis Mcdaniel "Dan" Absher, age 3. The 1860 census records the family living in the Lower Division of Wilkes, NC. Post Office (Mulberry). In the proceeding years the Civil War occurred and Sarah & Jacob saw their 3 oldest sons conscripted by the Confederate Army. They enlisted near Petersburg, Virginia, at Camp French on the 22 September 1862. By the end of the war only Benjamin returned home. His brothers Owen & Alfred died in Goldsboro and are interred there in a mass grave in Willow Dale Cemetery. At some point before 1870 Alfred's wife "Sarah Durham Absher" has died as well. Sarah & Jacob are now raising their grandchildren "America" & "Henry Absher". Sarah & Jacob have also lost their young son "William" September 1863. He appears in no further records. The family within a decade have lost 3 sons and their daughter-in-law "Sarah". No further records or family stories have been found that would indicate the cause of death for William & Sarah Durham Absher. By 1870 the Absher household consist of 13 people. Sarah & Jacob Absher ages 58 "respectively". "Benjamin Absher" who has survived the Civil War. Benjamin married Nancy Brown 19 Jan 1862 shortly before his enlistment. Their marriage did not endure and they parted ways. They have 2 children "Daniel Alexander" & "Sarah Linda"; Their children live with Benjamin in his parents household. "Lewis Mcdaniel Absher" "Charity Evaline" "Virginia" "Caroline" is also listed in a separate houshold with Jacob Hays her husband & her child James Hays. This discrepancy was researched and determined this is the same Caroline in the Absher household. She is listed in two households but is the same person; & "Candis" live at home with their parents Sarah & Jacob. Sarah & Jacobs grandchildren "America" & "Henry" are there with them since their parents death. "Bryant Baugus" age 18 is living is the household as well; listed as a farmhand. It is unclear what relationship he is to the family if any. The family is recorded to be living in Union, Wilkes, NC (Post Office - Wilbar). "Linny" is missing from the household in 1870.) It has not been determined where Linny might be in 1870 or whether her name was simply left out of the 1870 census Sarah & Jacob are age 65 "respectively" in the 1880 census. They are living in the Mulberry Township, Wilkes, NC. Only "Virginia or Jenny" & "Linny" and their grandchildren "America" & "Henry" remain in their household. The other children live nearby and have married and formed their own families. Sarah's husband Jacob Absher dies 24 Jul 1888 at age 79. It is unknown who is in the household at the time of his death. Sarah dies 11 years later 25 Aug 1899 at age 83. The Levi Absher Ledger also records the date of Sarah's death as (25 Jan 1899) which is a discrepancy on the date. Sarah Hall Absher was Levi Absher's aunt by marriage. The Levi Absher Ledger; published by the Wilkes Genealogical Society, 16 pages. This book can be ordered from the Wilkes Genealogical Society. Without Sarah Hall Absher's families efforts to record the event of her death, we would only be estimating the date. Her headstone was made of local stone by her children. I personally love my gr gr grandmother's stone. It shows the love of her children to carve this stone for their mother so she would be remembered and not lost to time. Without her families efforts to record the event of her death, we would only be estimating the date. If anyone has further information on Sarah Hall Absher, please let me know; so I can add to her biography. By Debbie Absher - Gr Gr Grand daughter of Sarah Hall Absher.
