Life

Sarah Elizabeth Veasey was born in Alabama on 21 August 1826, according to the FamilySearch tree, which cites no source for the date.1 She married Robberson Willingham, a son of Alban W. Willingham, in Chambers County, Alabama, in December 1848; the county marriage indexes spell her surname Veasy, Veazy and Veasey and mostly give 26 December, with one entry for 25 December.2 The federal censuses of 1850 and 1860 listed her as Sarah and Sarah E. Willingham in her husband's household in Coosa County.3 The tree names eight children born between 1850 and 1867: William Alban, Mary, John Roberson Columbus, Charles, Eli Makiney, Early Paschal, Bedy Cornelia and Charles Hardin.4 She died in Coosa County on 21 March 1879 and is buried in the Willingham Cemetery at Hissop, according to the tree and a Find a Grave memorial to Sarah Elizabeth Veasey Willingham.5 The Alabama death records of her sons William Alban Willingham, in 1936, and John Robert Columbus Willingham, in 1938, give their mother's name as Elizabeth Veazey.6
