Notes

  • In one marriage record collection that seems to represent James and Sarah, the bride's name is reported as Mary Jane Brown.  The Texas Marriage Index reports the bride's name as S J Brown.  One or more family genealogies has her name as Sarah Mary Jane Brown.  Most have only Sarah Jane Brown.

    In the 1870 census, her name is reported as Mary Brown.  She is in the household of William Moore, who appears to be an uncle or stepfather.  The oldest other person named Moore is Izela, age 28.  It seems most likely Izela was a widow who married widower William Moore.  The next oldest is 14-year-old James.  Mary Brown, age 8, is the only other person with a different surname.  Brown could be Izela's first married name, and Mary her only child.  The younger Moore children would then be her half-siblings.

    This Izela Moore is probably the reason Mary/Sarah named one of her daughters Izella.  She also named her last son Calvin Moore, age 4 in 1870.  The surmise above is indeed what we find when we look into family genealogies with more detail and family background on Mary/Sarah Brown's parents.  Genealogies tell us that Izella Brown Moore's maiden nmae was Kidwell.

    For some reason, Sarah's daughter Pearl Maude Walker is not in this Bible list compiled by Pearl's stepmother.  Pearl's death certificate reports she was born on 25 December 1886 in Custer County, Colorado.  But the 1900 census indicates that she and Izella after her were born inTexas,.  This census reports only two children born in Colorado, the next two after Izella, Charles and James.  But James' record in 1920 reports him born also in Texas.
