Sarah had to take care of her brothers and sisters after her mother died in 1849. After her father died in 1854, John E. Whitfield married her and they took care of the children.
They also took care	of her sisters children after	she	died	in 1874. It	is a
possibility that she	had	so many children to take care	of, that she did	not want
any of her own.
