• Notes

  Because Sarah's nickname was "Myra", her middle name is most likely Almyra in honor of her mother's mother, albeit a slightly different spelling. Sarah is also listed as Sarah Almyra in several different family trees that people have posted to Ancestry.com/Family Trees. It should also be noted that Webster and Caroline included the names of various no doubt beloved family members when naming their children.
