The original will was probably quill written in Old English script.If you examine the calligraphy of the time, many people wrote with great flourish.It is certainly reasonable to believe her name was Sarah. perhaps with two r's, and those r's were later mistaken for f's.It is, also, possible that it was a Cherokee name.You might check their web site.
