Sarah Galbraith {1230}, the daughter of John Galbraith
\n{1197} and his wife Martha Larkins {1214} was born 7 December 1800 and died in Hawkins County in 1876. She married James Waterson {1240} on the 21st of August 1823, James was born 7 January 1799, the son of Edward Waterson
\n{2843} and Margaret Cooper {2865}.<\/p>\n
When the father of Sarah (John Galbraith {1197}) died, he left the family farm to his son Arthur W. Galbraith. Apparently Arthur was ill with a fatal illness, as he died lacking 4 months of reaching age 21. He had a will in which he left his land to his brother Andrew. At that time Tennessee had a law requiring that a person dying before age 21 could not will land to another person. This Will was successfully challenged by Robert Wright et al<\/em>. On 9 December 1840 Robert Wright and the other parties to the law suit sold their interests to James and Sarah Waterson.<\/p>\n CHILDREN:<\/p>\n 1.
