Notes |
- Source of parent information is death certificate attached.
Online Brummett family trees show Sarah as being the first wife of Samuel Louis Brummett. However, a marriage certificate for Sarah shows she married Charles Bowman Brummett. This is in conflict with the 1910 census, which shows her as the wife of Samuel instead of Bowman. The three children belong to Bowman and Sarah instead of Samuel and Sarah.
Another argument for Sarah's marriage to Bowman being her only marriage is the obituary of Samuel Lewis/Louis Brummitt/Brummett in 1961. There is no mention of the three children listed for Sarah and Bowman as survivors of Samuel L. Brummitttt. The ommission of the three children would indicate (1)they were never Samuel's children; (2)there were hard feelings between the two families of Samuel and the second family decided to omit any reference to the first family; (3)all the first three children of Samuel were deceased and the second family saw no reason to list them. Of these options, no. 1 seems the most logical.
