Person:Sarah Ross (40)

Sara Elizabeth Ross Sara Elizabeth Ross was born 23 April 1843, in Newark, Essex county, New Jersey, a daughter of Stephen Weeks Ross and Jane Stephensen. Her family was converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and later crossed the plains to join the saints in Utah. She met and married James Jackson Lamb on 21 March 1863. They made their first home in Lehi, Utah, where James was involved multiple times in protecting the settlers during the Indian Wars. They lived in Lehi until they had six children. Then about 1874, they bought a farm in Wallsburg, Wasatch Co. Here four more children were born, making 10 in all, five boys and five girls. One died as a child, and one never married, but the remaining eight had families of their own, so that now they have a numberous posterity scattered over much of the west. Sara passed away on the 5th of October 1927 and was buried in Wallsburg beside her husband.
