Individual Notes
• Existence of Sarah based on: 1) 1928 notes400, and 2) presence of female, below age 5, in 1830 census. Birth year estimated to be 1828.1588
• Assistance Needed – A widow lady, Sarah Ann Buckmaster, just arrived across the Plains with seven small children, is now residing about twelve miles above Georgetown, El Dorado county, near Knox’s old ranch, and is in a destitute condition. Her husband was killed on the Plains. She has one brother in this city, Frederick Walter, a teamster, and one somewhere in the Sacramento Valley, Mathias Walter, who will doubtless aid her when they see this paragraph. She wishes them to come to her. W. T. Gibbs, of Georgetown, will give directions where she may be found.7389
