In "Wills and Inventories of White County, Tennessee" - Mary F'. Mitchell, 1810-1841, published 1949. Will of Joseph Whiteley. wife Sally. All any children (unnamed) Teste. John Herbert and David Ervin proven 1818. P. 114.

In Warren County, Tennessee, early tax records, there was a Sally Whiteley listed in 1820. Having two males between 10-16 years and 18 to 26 years, and one female over 16 years. Sally was a widow past 45.

Sally Whiteley lived her latter years with her son John in Ohio and died in Clark County in 1836. Was buried in the "Fletcher Chapel Cemetery". Frances T. Graves' brother visited grave in 1957 and saw headstone.

Two gravestone markers are in Fletcher Chapel Cemetery in Springfield, Ohio. The older grave marker was probably placed there by her son John with whom she was living at the time of her death. It reads: "IN MEMORY OF SARAH, WIFE OF JOSEPH WHITELEY DIED 24 APRIL, 1836 75 YRS. 7 MO. 1 DAY."

If Sarah died 24 April 1836 at age 75 yrs. 7 mo. and 1 day as on her older headstone, her birth date would have been on 23 Sept., 1760. She would have been about 15 when she married Joseph and 16 when she had her first child, Thomas born in 1776. She would have been about 49/50 when her last child, Sallie was born.

Amos N. Whiteley stated in his book that Sallie died at age 20 in 1830. The newer marker reads: "GREAT GRAND MOTHER SARAH STAPLETON WHITELEY,MOTHER OF JOHN WHITELEY, 1754-1836". This last headstone was placed on the grave by a great grandchild. Sarah's death age for these dates would be about 82 years old. She would have been about 22 years old when first son, Thomas was born, but she would have been about 56/57 in 1810 when, according to Amos' book, the daughter Sallie was born in 1810, which is highly unlikely. The first headstone is believed to be correct. (Source: Doris Estes, author of The Whiteley Family book.)
