Notes

Zachariah married Mary in 1849, and Sarah was born in 1835, so Sarah is the daughter of Zachariah and step-daughter of Mary. This portrait was taken around 1870, which is the year when Sarah married for the first time. She lived with Zachariah her first 35 years.

This portrait made its way from Jackson County, Alabama to the Murphy, Texas area in 1879 when Milton Meredith Matlock came to Texas with his sister, Martha Catherine Matlock Brownfield, and her husband, Christopher Columbus Brownfield. The three people in this portrait raised Milton and Martha. Milton and Martha were less than ten years old when their mother and father both died of Small Pox. They moved in with Zachariah, who was most likely their grandfather.
