[see Other Documents: Willis Henry Bittick & Sarah Jane (Whitworth) Wright Quit-Claim Deed]
This is a deed between Willis Henry and Sarah before they were married. It’s dated 29 Sep 1879 and she sells to him 80 acres in Jefferson Co. For some reason it was notarized in Franklin Co on the same day – so maybe she was living in Franklin Co? But it says they are both of Jefferson Co. It is not filed and recorded until 5 Jun 1880 in Jefferson Co. This must be land she inherited from her deceased husband, Hiram Wright. Perhaps the deed was recorded shortly before they left for Fayette Co, Texas. William Monroe was born Dec 1880 in Texas. So, it appears Willis Henry and Sarah married between 29 Sep 1879 and 5 Jun 1880 but a marriage record has not been found. One researcher thinks they married in Texas, but I don’t think so looking at the dates on this deed. Assuming they were married before she got pregnant with William Monroe – they must have married between September and March and then decided to leave for Texas about June 1880.
