Sarah Slater's Second Husband

[Susan Higginbotham]

Thank you, Gene!

The 1880 census shows that Josephine Loftin (I'm assuming that's the sister John is referring to) was living with her husband in North Carolina. He died in 1882, leaving her as his administrator--in her petition for letters of administration, she described herself as a resident of Lenoir County, NC. Of course, that doesn't preclude her visiting her sister Sarah in 1880 or any other time. Those of us living in North Carolina have to get out now and then.
