---------------------------------
Her parents are NOT KNOWN. Her maiden name is not Savage and also is not Colton. She may be Sarah Tremaine, but we have no proof at this time. Please be careful when you do merges.
Children of Sarah (possibly Tremaine) and Benjamin Cooley
The maiden name Tremaine is not supported by any hard data as far as I know. Sarah has been erroneously linked in the past to the Savage family due to a citation (Savage) being mistaken for a maiden name.
