Notes for: Sarah P. (Ayers) Ayres
I found a query at a Lenawee County, Michigan site asking about an Andrew and Sarah Ayres who moved to Lenawee County between 1830 and 1832 from Doncaster, Yorkshire, England. If this is the same Sarah as Abraham's wife, she would have been born before 1828. Jean Royal (jroyal@gateway.net) is related to Sarah and has more info on her family and ancestors (Sept. 2000). And Lynda Stevenson (lyndal@bright.net) is als researching this family.
Sarah's tombstone says, "Mother, wife of Abram."
