SARAH JANE LAUGHLIN
THE STORY AS I KNOW IT
Sarah Jane Laughlin was born Jan. 4, 1826 in Caldwell County, Kentucky. This came from the Cemetery Listings of Caldwell County. It gives the birth as well as death date. We believe her parents were Johnson Laughlin and Louisa L. Cook.
Sarah Jane married Sanders Addison Crowell April 24, 1845 in Caldwell County. S. A. Crowell, Benjamin Crowell and Johnson Laughlin witnessed their wedding, from Caldwell County Marriage Bonds From 1809.
Sarah Jane and S.A Crowell. were the parents of at
least seven children:
1. Louisa Jane born 1846 wed James Kenaday
2. Sarah E. born 1848
3. Ellender Elizabeth born Dec 27, 1852
4. Benjamin J. born 1854 wed Nancy E. Dunn
5. Robert Wylie born Oct 1856
6. Rachel Julia born Sept 11, 1858
7. Rosannabell born Oct 14,
1860 wed George Walter Blackburn
The 1850 Caldwell County Census lists the family
in the 2nd District as follows:
S.A. Crowell 25 farmer born NC
Sarah Jane 24 born KY
Louisa Jane 4 born KY
Sarah Elizabeth. 2 born KY
Elizabeth R. Laughlin 28 born KY (perhaps Sarah's
sister)
