Facts and Events
Her Birthplace is known as Montana Mountain. Scott's Mountain in Warren Co. was called Montana Mountain locally. In 1714 it was part of Hunterdon Co., in 1739 it was part of the new county of Morris, in 1753 it was divided off into the new county of Sussex, and in 1824 Warren Co. was formed, the current jurisdiction. She and sons George & Elijah are buried in St. John Baptist Cemetery (not Pine Grove cemetery) on S.R. 374 about 2 miles east of S.R. 664, about 1 1/2 or 2 miles out S.R. 374 from S.R. 664 near Old Man's Cave. Cemetery is on the right above the road and has an ironwork arch and gate, also called Baptist Cemetery. Her sons George and Elijah are beside her and her son, Noah's, in-laws (the Sauders) are in the same cemetery. Sarah's name is sometimes written as Sally, Sallyann, Sara, and even Rebecca in her son, Jonah's, obituary. pg. 653 of Pick Co Hist: "Sarah was born and reared in Warren Co., NJ, in which state her grandparents, who were natives of Germany had settled prior to the Revolutionary War. In 1837 John Woolever and wife came to Hocking County, Ohio, accompanied by Mr. Woolever's aged father, and their daughter, Catherine. John Woolever entered 120 acres of land and on this homestead our subject (Noah) was born, the fifth child in a family of 12. Nine of these reached maturity and eight still survive (1906), Noah being the eldest of these. Both parents died in Hocking County."
