  In the 1860 census above, Sarah and Adaline are reported with the same age, so obviously twins.  Genealogies report they wre triplets.  Their sister died very young.  Their age of 7 makes their birth about 1853.  Their brother Franklin is reported as age 9, so born about 1851.  In graves for members of this famly, we find that Adaline's birth date is reported as the year 1851, 2 years earlier than her census age woulld indicate.  Meanwhile, Franklin, named Benjamin Franklin on his grave memorial, is reported born in 1854, not 1851.

  She married in 1863 in Polk, Arkansas
  Francis Marion Choate, born 1838
  
  Sarah and Adaline Briscoe were two of three triplets, the third apparently died as an infant.
  
  She has since been identified as Amanda Briscoe who died at about two years of age. Shirley Hicks states that Sarah Angeline's ggg granddaughter Karen Son reports that Sarah Angeline married Francis Marion Choate in 1863 (at the age of 11?) in Polk, Arkansas; that they made the land run in Oklahoma and claimed land north of Sayre, Oklahoma, called, it is believed, "Timber Creek".
  
  They had thirteen children. Sarah is reported buried not far from Pampa, Texas, in Mulberry Cemetery.
