Sarah "Sallie Gabbard is buried O'Donnell Grave Yard, Million, Madison Co, KY, along with James. FindAGrave has her birth as Feb of 1847, but she was probably a year or two older than that.

Ancestry FamilyTrees have incorrectly married this Sally, daughter of John Wesley Gabbard to a Jacob Kemp in Sullivan Co, Indiana, 5 Nov 1863. Of course this Sally wasn't IN Sullivan Co, Indiana to marry Jacob Kemp. The 1870 census shows Jacob Kemp to be age 36, Sarah was 25, b. Kentucky - so it's easy to see how someone could jump to the conclusion. Jacob & Sarah already had three young sons - John M. 5, Charles H. 3, and Hiram T., age 1 month. I do have a DNA match to this person - but it's obviously not here.
