Sanbourne Woodson - Sarah Shores belongs somewhere else

DNA from 2017 has brought changes to the thought of Sarah Shores as a daughter of Sanburne Woodson. The following information was copied from FamilySearch originally posted by Contributor Karen Xaramillo copied from LH88-6JC and LX7Z-1T1:

"There has been some suggestion that Sarah Woodson daughter of Sanbourne Woodson is the incorrect Sarah of the Thomas Shores relationship. If you have any data to prove differently I would love to see it. This would be the forum for discussions.... It is possible that Sarah Lloyd might be an alternative choice. Sarah Woodson d/o Sanbourne Woodson appears to have married Olive Branch Roberts and not Thomas Shores. This information would say that Sarah Woodson daughter of Sanborne Woodson died in 1846. Legacy Sources from Ancestry are not helpful as they remain undocumented. Information on Sarah Lloyd is scarce. We do know that one of Thomas shores descendants named her daughter " Sarah Lloyd". Autosomal DNA testing of Shores descendants have recently revealed connections to the Woodsons of Fluvanna Virginia and with family connections to the Cocke family there. The "Shores' of Fluvanna have well documented history there and are cousins to the Shores of Loudoun Virginia.As such, a much better possibility is that Sarah Woodson is one from that Clan of Woodsons living in the Henrico/ Fluvanna Virginia area.... Josiah Woodson is one of three brothers that as of today are possible parents for Sarah Woodson wife of Captain Thomas Shores of Loudoun Virginia.... As always a work in progress.

The reason Sarah Woodson wife of Captain Thomas Shores has been attached to Josiah Woodson is that recent DNA findings of 2017 has connected the descendants of Thomas and Sarah to the Woodsons of Henrico/ Fluvanna Virginia. These findings also connect this family as having a relationship to the Cocke family that lived there as well. Captain Thomas Shores is cousin to the Shores Clan in Fluvanna. John Woodson Sr. had several documented sons that could have been Sarah Woodsons father.... and more work is being done to filter it out....Sarah Woodson w/o Capt. Thomas Shores has been placed in many genealogies as the daughter of Sanbourne Woodson. That appears to be incorrect, as the balance of evidence now shows that the daughter of Sanbourne Woodson was married to another man and died in 1846."

People referenced:
Sarah Shore m. to Captain Thomas Shores
Sarah Roberts m. to Olive Branch Roberts

Could someone identify if Sarah Lloyd (married name?) exists on Geni?

Does the wife of Olive Branch Roberts need her death date change? Is there a record / reference to affirm that?

Sarah Lloyd profile may exist on FamilySearch.com - I just copied the notes over to Geni. I agree she was not a daughter of Sanborne -none of their children's names match Sanborne Woodson family names, no DNA matches etc...Wikitree.com has some stuff on Fluvanna Woodson angle.

Date of Sarah Roberts death in disputes. Also I have her death place as Georgia, she won a land lottery and at at least one son, Hugh Roberts moved there also.

From Her Wikitree.com profile.

Sarah (Woodson) Roberts' DOD is listed in the transcribed records of a family Bible as 29 August 1846, "widow of Olive Roberts at 99 years" without notation of burial. The Roberts Bible transcription is found in the NC archives. Sarah may have died in Georgia where they lived in 1801; the cemetery noted for burial does not list her (it is a very small burial ground and most sites contain no inscriptions). Sarah "Sally" Roberts is listed on the 1807 Georgia Land Lottery as a lucky drawer qualified for land as are her children, who are listed as the "orphans of Olive Roberts".

Thanks, Lloyd! I found another Sarah Lloyd of NC (clearly different), but also found wife of Captain Thomas Stone on FamilySearch. After some cleanup there, I pulled that immediate family into Geni. (I used SmarttCopy, so the links back to the 'source' sites are noted in the About.)

I also updated Sarah Roberts (nee Woodson)'s death date.

Would it be possible to add some info to this profile and MP her? Having a same named sister is confusing but also, this (Woodson) is a very busy line that gets a lot of traffic and unsourced changes occur often
