Sarah Crow was probably born about 1794, in Chatham County, North Carolina. She was the daughter of John Crow and Sarah (last name unknown).
The 1800 Chatham County census shows Sarah as one of two females under the age of 10 (b. 1791-1800).
The 1810 Chatham County census shows her as a female 10-15 (b. (1795-1800) living with her parents and siblings.
Sarah was named in her father's will in 1815, to receive a slave, a horse, a saddle and bridle, a cow, a feather bed, furniture, two blankets, one quilt, three counterpanes and a spinning wheel, and an equal share of the remaining property, except the land, after the death of her mother. We know Sarah was 21 years old by the time her father died in 1815, or she would have been listed as a minor heir.
Sarah probably married prior to 1820, as she does not appear on the 1820 census with her mother.
An article written on December 6, 1849, and published in the Georgia Journal and Messenger, on December 26, 1849, listed Sarah as an heir of John Crow who had already received her share of the final settlement of her father's estate. Other heirs listed were Jesse, James, Ruben, John, Gabriel, Johnson, Rachel, and Elizabeth.
