• Name	Sarah Miller  [1]
  Born	Between 1790 and 1794	, , PA   [2, 3]
  	She's listed in the 26 to 44 age bracket (bet 1776 and 1794) on the 1820 census but it's unlikely she was older than Joseph, and given when the year they married and when their first child was born, she was likely born in the 1790s. Place of birth provided by her children's 1880 census records. [2, 3]
  Gender	Female
  Address	1790	Tyrone Twp, Fayette, PA   [4, 5]
  Address	1800	Redstone Twp, Fayette, PA
  Address	1806	, Jefferson, OH   [6]
  	The area they settled may have become part of Harrison County when that county was formed in 1813; still looking for proof.
  Address	1807	Wayne Twp, Jefferson, OH   [6]
  	Wayne Township's boundaries were likely made smaller when Harrison County was formed from Jefferson County in 1813, and they may have settled in the portion that became part of Harrison County. Seeking confirmation.

  	Likely married in Beech Spring Presbyterian Church, officiated by John Rea, VDM There is a record of a Joseph D Mayes marrying a Sarah Miller in 1805 in Pennsylvania. Given their ages, the timing seems right but I haven't been able to determine if that records applies to this couple. [1]
