Marriage and Family
The earliest record confidently identified with Sarah is her marriage on November 25, 1886, in Butts County, Georgia, in which she appears as Sallie Jenkins.1 Her husband, Jesse Thomas Ogletree, was born in March 1864 in Georgia and died in 1922. In 1900 the family lived in Militia District 723, Hampton, Henry County. Sarah reported that she was born in July 1869 in Georgia, and that both of her parents were born in Georgia.2
Death and Burial
Find a Grave gives Sarah’s death as February 16, 1906, with burial at Oak Hill Cemetery in Griffin, Spalding County. No gravestone photograph is attached to the memorial, so this remains to be confirmed from cemetery records.3 The same memorial names William Lewis Jenkins and Edwina Caroline “Nancy” Capps as her parents, but no record has been located to confirm this.
