General Notes: Wife - Sarah Charles

---

The heirs and children of Sarah James, dec'd received a 1/6 share in the distribution of the assets of the estate of Michael Charles. This establishes that Sarah James was a child of Michael Charles. See notes under Michael Charles. Note also the power of attorney of March 17, 1828 in which Sarah's children seek to receive any part of the estate of Michael Charles to which they may be entitled.

The following website summarizes the life of Sarah Charles:

https://www.lucysfamilytree.com/priest-preece/james/samuel-james-sarah-charles/


"Sarah Charles married Samuel James, in North Carolina probably about 1797. She died before 1810 in Virginia, probably in Russell County at, or near, the home of her brother George Charles, as she and her family were on their way to Kentucky. It is possible she died in childbirth, or of complications resulting from childbirth. It appears that an infant child of Sarah and Samuel James might have been left behind with some of her family. Samuel James arrived in Floyd County Kentucky several years before George Charles and his family." Source: Ron Charles.
