Born:  30 Aug 1801 Union Co SC 
Died:  19 Dec 1882 Spartanburg Co SC
Buried: Cedar Springs Baptist Cemetery Spartanburg Co SC

Never married: Single (Raised her Siblings)

Sally and her brother Samuel, helped raise their siblings, 
after the death of their father Wm White in 1829. 

The Census tells us that Sarah, & mother Elizabeth were living
with her Samuel and his family, in 1850.  

The 1860, 70, 80 Census reveals, Sarah (Sally) was living with 
her younger sister Susan White & WF Coggins, her husband, 
in Spartanburg Co SC. 

Sally never married, to my knowledge, devoted her life to raising
her siblings, and in the end, they returned that love, by caring for her...
and memorializing her by naming children after her... this way her 
goodness and love, could never be forgotten.

'The Stone may age and crumble to dust
but the legacy of your caring & love has &
 did  reach to the tallest heights and settle 
upon those so fortunate to have been 
touched by your graces'. Gaze upon those
that received and you must know and see...
No doubt of your eternal peace...  
The Stone may age and crumble to dust...'

Census Records for Sarah (Sally) White
and the story they tell:

TOP
1830 Census living near her uncle, Elias White, is Sarah White, this  the dau of Wm White, Elias's brother.  Examine the Census closely, have presented two 1830 census 
records for Wm White's family, after his death, my feeling is the #2 proposed census is 
the correct census, and Samuel White is head of household, with James and Jane absent,
as they are now married.  

1830 Union Co SC Census Page 192 

Two Possibilites below: 
1. Sarah a male and mom living alone?
2. Samuel is head of household for entire family?

1. Theory #1 - Sarah White (Page 192)
Males: 0001000000000 One male  15-20 (possibly a brother of Sarah's)
Femls: 0001000100000 One Fem  15-20 and One Fem 50-60 
(50-60 is probably mother Elizabeth)

2. Theory #2 - Samuel White (Page 193)
SAMUEL WHITE      Males: 0011100000000 Females: 0121101000000  
                                    1= Wm                        1=Rachel
                                    1= Robert?                   2=Susan, Elizabeth
                                    1=Samuel                     1=Lucy      
                                                                        1=Sarah
                                                                        1=Mother Elizabeth (census mistake
                                                                            should be one more slot over >) 
**Note: James & Jane are married, living elsewhere...

NOTE:
A look into the Union Co Court minutes for 1829/30 may reveal
that Samuel was made guardian... a future project.
