!NOTES:"Sally" is a common nickname for "Sarah";
!NOTE:Don't know who Sarah's husband was for certain, other than "Mr. Rowan". However, I believe George Rowan is the best match. His wife was named Sarah "Sally" and he was from the right region, and his family travelled with some of the Davis across several counties, so that shows an association at least. It would be nice to have some more solid proof that his wife Sarah was indeed Sarah Davis.;
