Notes:That John Sale died after Monday, the 21st of August 1797, whcih was Essex County "court day" and Monday, the 18th of September 1797, which was "court day" in September.
It is likely that Edmund got his name from Edmund Noel who appears to have been a neighbor and friend of John Sale.There had been no Sale's with that name in the family up to that time.
John Sale, Jr. died in Jessamine County, Kentucky in 1811.Leaving no issue, but his wife, Joanna Ryland, who then married Jacob Todhunter in Kentucky.
