Note for Sarah Unknown:
We have no idea who her parents/sibs were, when she was born, where she came from, when they got here, where they landed, when she married or when her kids were born.‰ In these times major events‰ in life (birth, baptismal, marriage & death) were recorded in church docs & family bibles.‰ Itမs believed there used to be a LaForce family bible but whatever happened to it we donမt know.‰ Whatever book these events were recorded in were lost.‰ The reason we know about her & her kids is because she & hubby both left wills.
