Research Note: This listing is at findagrave.com by Barbara Peck Ester. She found a death certificate for Sarah but I don't find one. Sarah is most likely buried here with her family. Barbara's notes: Sarah Elizabeth was the daughter of Joseph Jackson Sr. (1809-1864) and Amelia Ann Blythe (1808-1880) Embrey. She never married. Her death certificate states that she was buried at Rocky Comfort Cemetery, but there is no marker for her. | Note Phyllis Long |
