Sarah Elizabeth Hollifield or Holderfield- Tennessee

Seeking information on a Sarah Elizabeth Hollifield-(Holderfield), who was said to have been born about 1839 in Tn., but her death record said it was 1834-Tn., but then again in 1860 Census record in Humphrye's County, Tn. it stated that she was about 12 years old and living with the Hugh Clemmons family. Sarah was supposed to have lost all her family due to some sort of illness, such as the Chlorea, but I cannot document this fact. Later, Sarah married Richard Spain. I need to know who her family was. It is highly speculated that Sarah was born from an Native American line, maybe her mother was Native American. I believe that Sarah was born on the Banks of the Buffalo River in Tennessee. By this I mean, there was no homes built at that time as far as I know now. Three different Census records show that Sarah said her father was born in France, then in Germany, and one was in Tennessee. I am so stumped by this lady. Any help would greatly be appreciated. I have no way to access many records in Tenn. at this time. Thanks! Martha
