www.findagrave.com Sarah's middle initial is on stones differently as A and L. Maiden name may be STRAW/STRAUGH or COMSTOCK. Sarah Louisa's maiden name and place of birth are unknown as there are several possibilities depending on what record you look at: According to USCensus records in 1850, 1860, 1870 she is born in Vermont; according to death record of her son John D, maiden name is Comstock; according to death record of her son Philander she is born in Niagara NY; according to death record of her son Willard she is born Syracuse; according to the death record of her daughter Sarah Amelia (Smith) Bardin her maiden name is Straw and she was born in Vermont; according to death record of her son William her maiden name is Straw and she was born in Niagara NY; according to death record of daughter Julia A (Smith) Thayer Packard, Sarah is born in Watertown NY; according to obit of daughter Elizabeth, maiden name is Straw; in Sarah's own death record her place of birth and parents names are "not given" To complicate things further, family lore has Asa Smith marrying twice: Martha Straugh and Sarah L _____. 13 children: Philander E John Davison m.
