She moved to South Dakota in all likelihood to be with her children and possibly seeking refuge.This was a time when many young men went to SD seeking their fortune in gold.I would speculate that the divorce from her 2nd husband (something almost unheard of in this period) might have motivated her to find a safer haven, and with both sons and a daughter living there, SD makes sense.Sara was my 3x great grandmother - I descend through the Brewer connection.
The only thing I've come up with for Sara's parents were a Jno (Henry) Leffler and Henrietta Regle.I came across the names long ago, so I can't remember where I found the info or how reliable it is.Still looking for the immigration info on the family.
I'd be interested in hearing what you've learned about Sara's siblings.
