      Copied from chart by Jan Johnson posted at ancestry.com:
      "In the pages of the surviving bible, Sarah's name was recorded as Saryfine. Born in Washington, Carter County Tennessee the 11th day of November 1837, little is known about her early childhood. There were many Jackson families in the area but none can be connected to her with any certainty. The journal pages that accompanied the bible, record a journey made in 1800, down the Wilderness Trail into Tennessee. The group of settlers was led by Walter Finely, an inlaw of Daniel Boone, and Stephen Jackson. Stephen Jackson's wife Hannah was also in the group. Stephen and Hannah started farming the raw land along the Little Doe River.

      "They raised a large family at this location including Arthur Finely, Eliza Jane, Richard, and Rebecca,(who married Jacob Lowe). Recorded in the bible. Sarah stated that her mother was Mary Morley and her grandparents were George W. Morley and Mary. Along with their names and death dates is James Brown Morley.

      "Sometime in the late 1840's part of the family moved back to Virginia and farmed around Marion. There in the early 1850's, Sarah married Andrew J. Scott. During the next several years, the couple had three sons and a daughter, James T. Scott born in 1858, George W.Scott born in 1859, and Andrew J. Scott in 1862. Tragedy struck, when Typhoid hit the area during the Civil War. The boys were wiped out from the fever within a two day period [see below]. Their deaths were documented in the journal. The family was very proud of J. Scott and his service to the Confederacy. When he returned from the war in 1865, he and his wife tried to resume their lives together. On 25 Dec 1867, the couple had a daughter, Anna Elizabeth Scott. This would be their last child. A short time later, they divorced.

      "In Feb 1870, Sarah married a man 12 years her senior. Jermiah Henderlite was a saw mill operator and a good provider. Jeremiah, had one child at home, Susan, a thirteen year old girl. Was this child his or Sarah's? In the early census Anna was known as last name Scott, but later Henderlite and then back to Scott when she got married. Sarah's little girl was just three. Three more children were born to this union: Memphis, born in 1872, Edgar, born in 1875, and H. Charlotte, (Lottie), born in 1875. Sometime in the mid 1890's J. Henderlite died, Sarah, Memphis and Edgar moved to St Joseph Mo. to live close to the newly wedded Charlotte. Charlotte had married Robert Beatty and Anna E. Scott had married George W. Keyes.

      "The family photos show Sarah still alive and living in Missouri as late at 1915, but there is no death date that I have located at this time."

      Concerning the bit about Sarah Fina's father being born in Virginia:
      SULLIVAN CO, TN (then still NC) was established in 1779, primarily from Washington Co, TN (then NC), although part of Sullivan, including the “North of Holston” and Carter Valley Settlements, was considered part of Virginia, and Tennesseans taxed by Old Fincastle, Montgomery and Washington Cos VA rather than by NC. (See Shelby's Fort and SQUABBLE STATE) In 1790, NC ceded it's “western lands” and TN became part of the “Territory South of the Ohio River”, which it remained until 1796 and statehood.

      Tennessee, State Marriages, 1780-2002

      Gender: Male
      Marriage Date: 10 Aug 1854

      The story above does not make clear that it was the two oldest boys who died of typhoid fever. The third son, Andrew J. Scott, Jr., shows on the 1870 census living with his father and his father's new wife. The youngest child, Ann Elizabeth Scott, is living with her mother in 1870.
