Interesting Visit

[Susan Higginbotham]

In his book, Headley claims that the "Kentucky lady" was in Montreal visiting the prisoners when she volunteered to go to Richmond. retrieve the needed documents, and then return to Montreal (p. 376). Sarah, by contrast, was already in the South when she was recruited to take the documents from Richmond to Montreal.

There's probably no way to prove this, but after comparing Headley, Hall's account of Sarah's movements, and Cameron's testimony, I suspect that the men who recalled the "Kentucky lady" as bringing documents from Richmond to Montreal were conflating two women: an unnamed widow from Kentucky who called on them in prison, and the courier Sarah.
