Sarah "Sallie" Heathman was a sister of Lucy J. Heathman Boyer, wife of Charles Emmett Boyer.
Sallie was the oldest child of James Franklin Heath and wife, Amanda Allen Heathman, who were born in Rowan County NC and married there on 24 Mar 1853. They moved their family to Bolivar MS before the 1860 Census.
After her mother's death in 1872, Sallie, who was the oldest child, remained at home and helped raise her younger siblings and was caregiver to their father until his death in 1883.
At that time, her brother-in-law, Charles Emmett Boyer, widower of her late sister, Lucy, deeded a house and 12 acres of land to Sallie on his family's plantation in Indianola MS where she lived for the rest of her life.
Sallie never married but had a son out of wedlock about 1890. He died at age 14. They both are buried in Boyer Family Cemetery.
US Census records from 1860 until 1880 show Sallie living in the home of her parents (the 1880 Census erroneously shows her relationship to her father as "wife" and shows her relationship to her 2 younger sisters as "mother").
The next Census listing for Sallie is 1930 which shows her as the overseer on her farm and the handwritten Census record clearly shows her as a white female but the transcript shows her as a Negro female. She was age 72. This is the last Census record showing Sallie.
