I am searching for the parents of my gggrandmother Sally(Sarah) Newberry. I have very little info on her. I believe she was born in TN possibly around 1825.(Not sure about this.) Sally married John Sullivan (he may have been born in AL?) I know they had two daughters: Emily Catherine Sullivan b. 1854(my ggrandmother) and Alida Kate Sullivan. Emily's death certificate states that her mother Sally was born in Weakley Co., TN. I'm not sure if this is accurate or not. Emily married Marshall Lafayette Rhodes in 1871 in Weakley Co. and (Alida)Kate married Marion Jackson Phillips in Gibson Co., Tn in 1883.

I found an 1880 census from Gibson Co., TN containing:

Sullivan John age 56 birth AL Father VA Mother VA
Sallie age 56 birth TN Father NC MOther NC
Lydie age 20 birth AR

I feel this may be the correct family, but I can't find them before this with Emily still in the household.



Is anyone familiar with this Newberry and her family?

Thanks,
Robin (Rhodes) Bigham
