Family sources name Clara as Clarissa Daisy.
William P Hardin is reported as a Son-in-law of Sarah. But we are told Sarah has borne 3 children, and they are all in this household. William must be the widower of one of Sarah's step daughters. Because of age, that would have to be Avalona, daughter of Catherine Davis.
