  Notes	Alverta Brown Martin in her "Our Grandfathers," Inglewood, CA 1968, says Sarah's parents, George and Ann (Doak) Breckenridge, were married in 1742 when George lived in Albemarle County (St. Anne's Parish). Ann died in 1748; George moved to Austa County in 1763, then on to Wythe County, where he died in 1790. His will, proved 29 September 1790, named daughter Sary Findley. She received 1/6 of "the remainder part of my household and kitchen furniture with all my stock sold." (Wythe Co., VA WB 1:1). note: Ann was alive in 1757; some sources say she died in 1763, but haven't seen documentation. "Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia, Extracted from the Original Court Records of Augusta Co. 1745-1800," by Lyman Chalkley. 1757, 11 Aug: Commission from Augusta Co., VA to Wm. Harris, Wm. Cabell, Jr., and Wm. Dinguid to take acknowledgment of Anne, wife of Geo. BRECKINRIDGE of Albemarle Co., VA, to deed, 17 Nov 1756, George to Jno. STEEL, dated 10 Jun 1757. Executed 11 Aug 1757. http://worldconnect.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=adgedge&id=I91582 ---- Born the third child in 1744 when her parents, George and Ann Doak Breckenridge, moved from away from Augusta County across the border to Albemarle County in the British colony of Virginia, Sarah spent four happy years tagging behind her mother. Then, one cruel day, when late winter began to turn to spring in 1748, the mother passed away and the little girl was left with her Irish-born father, three brothers, and younger sister. The father moved all the children back with family in Augusta County as he himself began tilling a new farm south of Augusta?s new county seat of Stanton. George never remarried, and as the Revolutionary War broke out, the kids left either to fight or be married off to soldiers. Most eventually relocated to Kentucky by the time that George passed away in the Commonwealth of Virginia on 29 September 1790. Ben M.
