    However this has not been proven. As seen above, Sarah A. Fortson was said to have been born circa 1837-1838 in Mississippi, whereas the widowed Sarah McLemore seems to have been born ca 1830-1831 in Tennessee. Additionally, Sarah Fortson would have given birth to William McLemore at the age of 12 or 13.
