Justin,
I totally agree with you on the Sanders living near Sterling Brown. According to the Sanders/Wheeler researchers, John Sanders living near Sterling was John Sanders, b. 1772, d. 1831 Bedford Co. A few names up from John is a George Sanders, age 20-30, who I think is the best candidate for Mary Magdalene Brown's husband. He was the son of John Sanders (1772)and Susannah Wheeler. However, the Wheeler researchers say their George married an Elizabeth Unknow. I have not been able to verify this.
I feel like if Mr. Sanders and Mary Magdalene Brown were both born ca. 1800, they were married by 1830 and had children. I've read on this web page where they had other sons. The Sanders/Champion researcher shared that Mary Magdalene Brown Sanders married a 2nd time in Arkansas, and she had a daughter by her 2nd husband. That might explain the reason the enumerator first wrote a surname that started with an "H", and wrote Sanders over it in 1850.
After I emailed you last night, I found MM Brown Sanders and three of her children back in Bedford Co., living with her mother, Tabitha Hall Brown in 1850. There are four years difference in George W.'s age and Eliza Ann's. She is supposed to be from the 2nd marriage. If this is true, then George's father died between 1838 and 1844.
Shadrack and Tabitha Hall Brown lived at Shelbyville in Bedford Co., according to the Brown/Hall researchers.
My question is.........how do you know George Washington Sanders was born in Hempstead Co., AR? Was this info in his wife's Civil War pension file?
