Sarah A. Hirons 
Sarah A. was born on December 10th, 1815 in Northend, Burton Dasset, Warwickshire, England.1 Sarah A.'s father was John Hirons and her mother was Sarah Freeman. She had three brothers and two sisters, named Richard, Jesse, John, Mary Ann and Sarah. She was the third youngest of the six children. She died at the age of 55 on October 8th, 1871 in Panola, Woodford County, Illinois.General Notes
Sarah may have died after 1903 since there is a civil war pension request
made on January 19, 1903 application # 776856 with certificate #
5559.7.1. in Illinois for wido, Sarah A. Walden widow of Civil War
soldier, Thomas Walden. More research is needed to learn for certain
Sarah's date and place of death.
Some sources list her birth on October 12, 1815 (but believe this is be
incorrect based on Christening records in England): note there are two
Sarah's listed as born to John & Sarah Hirons one christened December 10,
1815 and another christened January 14, 1821. Were there two Sarahs in
their family? Or first one died and "our" Sarah's birth date should be in
1821?
