By all accounts, Sarah was married four times. She married:
1. Joseph G. Goodson
2. Elam Lee
3. James Dixon
4. William G. Womack. She was his second wife.
Name Joseph G. Goodson

Event Date 12 Jan 1860

Spouse's Name Sallie Dixon
After his death in 1892, she and her son Hansel Eugene Womack moved to Americus. She is in the 1910 Census with Hansel then disappears by 1920.
More than likely she is buried in the Ellaville City Cemetery near her last husband, William Gaddis Womack. (Her daughter Mary Ela is also in that cemetery and buried there only 2 years earlier.) There is an unmarked brick covered grave near Sallie's husband that is possibly her's but unconfirmed. Although she died 15 miles away in Americus, and her funeral was there in Salem Church, the Oak Grove Cemetery sexton's report does not list her there, where her son was buried and listed 12 years later. (Not being listing in the sexton's report is not necessarily evidence of non-burial, but it should be noted that a person with that surname was listed there earlier that year of 1910.)
James Dixon
