Mary 67 b. Pa. - d. 1866

After Mary's death in 1866, Garrett Coolbaugh, b. Newhope, Pa., age 72 yrs, married Sarrah Hanna
b. Middle Smithfield, Pa., age 68yrs, on Sept. 25, 1867 in Grass Lake, Mi.
Witness to the marriage in 1867 were Benjamin and Martha (Price) Seidle also born in Pa.

Sarah Colbough 70 b. Pa
Sarah Coolbaugh d. March 3, 1874 in Grass Lake, Mi., widow, 74yrs, heart disease, b. N. Y.,
parents names listed as Cartwright parents b. N.Y.

Sarah Hanna Coolbaugh's death record lists her parents as Cartwright. Mary (Hanna) Coolbaugh's brother, William,
was married to Sarah Courtright, but the early records of Raymond Hanna has Sarah Courtright Hanna's death date as 1848.
If her parents were "Cartwrights" but her name when she married Garrett was Hanna and she was born in Middle Smithfield,
she had to have married one of our Hanna's. Who is this Sarah married to Garrett?

there is an entry in the death records of an unnamed daughter of B.H. and Lucy dying on May 12, 1872 in Everett, age 1month.
they had a daughter born May 10 but a 1 month old died May 12, mistake? 1 day old?
and then there is this...

Her name is Lucy Coolbaugh, age unknown, she's married and the daughter of Benjamin & Lucy? another mistake?

I found a biography for Benjamin H. Coolbaugh that gave the date of death for his wife as May 14, 1871.
Lucy and the baby must have died May 12, 1872. Right?

Also from the biography: 5 living children, Franklin, Josephine, Eugenie, Effie and Loretta, 1 died in infancy.
Benjamin b. May 24, 1820 in Pa, son of Garrett & Mary (Hanna) Coolbaugh moved to Tompkins Co., N. Y. in 1827, then to
Allegany Co., N. Y. and in 1846 moved to Jackson Co., Mi. In 1852 he went to Indiana for two yrs then back to Jackson Co.
In Dec. 1852 he married Lucy Brower, dau. of Nathan D. & Prudence (Saunders) Brower.

I haven't been able to find Franklin after 1870.
