Cooke, Joan, e-mail to David A. Navorska in re Sarah Ann Richter, (Pub. location unknown, JC, x Oct MMIX)

"Hello David, I just came across your data on Rootsweb. If you are interested, I can give you a lot of information about Sarah Ann Richter...her 3 marriages and all her children. Sarah Ann was my son-in-law's maternal 2nd grandmother. Sarah Ann's son,Isaac Sells....had a son, Ezra. Ezra's daughter, Pauline, was my son-in-law's mother. Sarah must have been quite the lady....she married her 3rd husband at age 85...I have copy of the marriage license, her Obit etc. tombstone photos and more. I have been doing research on my son-in-law's family for about 7 years....I thinkhe is somehow related to half of St. Joseph Co., Indiana...HaHa. Sincerely, Joan Cooke"

Cooke, Joan, e-mail to David A. Navorska in re Sarah Ann Richter ii, (Pub. location unknown, JC, x Oct MMIX)

"... Sarah Ann was married 3 times. First to Hiram Hart, married 4 Mar 1844 in Ohio.. They had a son, John Hart, b: 8 Jan 1845 Ohio.

I've never found anything on Hiram except he apparently died ... this stated by Sarah on her application for 3rd marriage. Nor do I know what happened to their son John.

On June 11, 1847, Sarah gave birth to another son, Isaac in Tuscarawas, Ohio...(apparently 'out-of-wedlock'. She named him Isaac after her brother, gave him the surname of SELLS. I have been in touch with several Sells researchers, no onehas found any records to indicate who Isaac's father was. Sarah came to Lakeville, Indiana with her parents when Isaac was about 5 years old. He resided in Lakeville the rest of his life. On July 3, 1874 he married Mary Jane Clay,daughter of Andrew Jackson Clay and Nancy Hurdle.. Isaac and Mary Jane had 3 children: Ezra, Grace and Amelia.

Ezra was b: 8 Apr 1883, Lakeville, Indiana. He married Leona Belle Bentel...they had 7 children: Their daughter, Pauline Jeanette, married Jacob Henry Lindenman, Jr.....their son, Charles Edward married my daughter, Pamela Suzanne Cooke.

On March 7, 1852 in St. Joseph Co.,Indina, Sarah married John Peter Fisher. He had been previously married to Nancy Lee Hall who died in 1850. They had 8 children: John, Peter, Darcas, Elizabeth, Margaret, Susan, Mary and Catherine. (Ican give you more details on them if you want)

Children of Sarah and John Fisher were: Clarissa, Jacob W., Malinda, Willis P., Marion Francis, Abraham Lincoln, James Anthony, Ida Mae, Charles C., Clinton Francis and Nora A. (I can also give you more details on them).

Sarah cared for her invalid husband John Pete Fisher until his death in 1904.

Believe it or not, at age 79, Sarah married again. This time to Rev. George Weninger. I have copies of both of their applications for marriage. Both indicated that the had been married twice before...Sarah's dissolved by death....George'sone by death, the other divorce.

I have Obits for Sarah and George. She died at age 94 of Dropsy 1917....leaving 44 grandchildren and 52 great grandchildren. (I can give you detailed info from both Obits. I did find it interesting that Sarah's Obit made no mention of herson, Isaac, who was still living. George died in 1924....his Obit made no mention of ever being married to Sarah....only to his first wife, Ann Toleson and their children. Interestingly, Sarah is buried in Lamb's Settlement...originallyUnion Cemetery off Miami Road, in Lakeville. I have photos of John Fisher's tombstone....Sarah's name is on one side but no dates. I also have pictures of a few of the Fisher tombstones in Lakeville Cemetery. ..." <>
