Note: Candice Orene Harkens Hartung (cohartung@@yahoo.com) April 2003 Marriage records in Sumter Co., AL, has name as Sarah Jones Garey Michael Lusk (garyfamily2000@@yahoo.com) 2003; ancestry.com (http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=garyfamily&id=I683) Sarah Gary was not mentioned by her cousin, George Maria Harrison, however her marriage is of record in Sumter Co., AL, and her mother, Elizabeth Gary, gave her consent to Sarah's marriage.
There is some confusion concerning the middle name of Sarah. On the marriage license her middle name is listed as "Jones" while in the following article, her middle name is listed as "Elizabeth". Historical and Biographical Record of the Cattle Industry and the Cattlemen of Texas and Adjacent Territory, Vol. II--Biographical, Texas State Archives, Austin, Texas (written 1894) Joseph White was of Irish descent, born in Richmond, VA. in 1803. He was married three times and was the father of nineteen children. He first married Mary E. Jones, by whom he had four children, two boys and two girls. His second wife was Sarah Elizabeth Gary, who bore him eight children. His third wife was Miss Ann Cunningham, who bore him seven children. Joseph was a physician and after graduating in Richmond moved to Alabama, later to Mississippi, and in 1851 he came to Texas, locating in Navarro County, where he engaged in cattle raising in connection with the practice of his profession. At the beginning of the war he was the richest man in his section, but pauperized himself equipping the soldiers and supporting the widows.
