Sarah's father Edward, mentioned her in his 1807 will as "Sarah Fletcher". It has been published on many sites that Abigail Jackson, who married Jonathan Hughes was 'Sarah' Abigail Jackson, dau of Edward. But Edward's will proves this is not accurate. The place and date of her death is taken from Flesher family records by Larry Flesher. See source web site.

Sarah's sister, Lucinda, married John Flesher's brother, William. William's son Elias and his family was found on the 1850 Salem, Warren Co, OH Census. Sarah's sister, Lucinda, was living with them. The family name was spelled Fletcher at that time. This helps me accept that Sarah's name in her father's Will was spelled Fletcher, but on her marriage license was spelled Flesher. An image of Sarah and John's marriage license has been found and compared to Sarah's father's signature on his Will to help prove that this Sarah was indeed Edward's daughter.

Sarah's husband John Flesher is listed among the Names of Heads of Families of Lebanon Twp, Meigs County, Ohio in 1820. Also on that list is Sarah's brother Samuel M. Jackson and her sister Lucinda Jackson Flesher (Lucinda's husband William Flesher had died.) and Samuel's son-in-law David Sleeth.
