Richard,
This is from the letter dated Nov 28,1860 from Meredith Mccoy to John Crutchfield the son of Sarah Statham and John Crutchfield sr.
Well you requested for me to send the ages of you all from the old record, I do so with pleasure.
Meredith Crutchfield was born April 23, 1818
Thomas June23, 1820
John was born November 13,1823
Sarah was born May 22, 1828 & died June 20,1841
Grandfather Wm Statham died June 19,1846
Grandmother Frances Statham died June 16,1843
Aunt Eliza Statham died January 10,1856
Your Mother's age { Sarah Statham Crutchfield} is not recorded but you can come near it by Uncle John and Meredith {this would be the Stathams} if you know which of them were the oldest, I will ascertain from the tomb stones and write you in the next letter.
The tombstones would have been that of John and Meredith Statham.
Sarah was buried in Wilkinson co Ga.
The next letter was written August 30,1883 , 23 yrs after that letter.
So, I wonder where they got the date of June 23,1829 as the death of Sarah Statham Crutchfield.
Noone has found the graves and I suspect she and John sr are buried together in Wilkinson co.
