• Lucretia EVANS (born 1808-1809, died after 1860), the wife of James MOORE (died 1837), and
• Letitia EVANS (born 1813-1820, died after 1870), the wife of the Rev. William Sherrod MOORE (born 1807, died by 1868).
Sarah MOORE EVANS, James MOORE and the Rev. William Sherrod MOORE were siblings, the children of of John MOORE & Marcia MCCALL of Effingham County.
Sarah first married Henry A. BURTON, the son of

• Elizabeth DENMARK.

An excerpt from History of the Baptist Denomination in Georgia (Volume II, Page 12, 1881), concerning her son, John Hergen ASH: [He] was born in Savannah, Georgia, November 17th, 1843. He was the only son of George A. and Sarah ASH, by a second marriage on both sides. He was deeply impressed by the death of an only sister, at the age of three years. Though he was very young, this bereavement caused him to reflect most seriously about his responsibility to God, and the "vast concerns" of eternity. He was fortunate in having a mother of deep piety, who communed much with God, and the remembrance of her fervent pryaers for him still lingers in his bosom. She often took her boy by the hand to lead him to place where she daily knelt in prayer to pour out her soul to God, and with sweet, gentle voice invited him to go with her. At other times, he would hear the voice of prayer, and, tracing out the sound, would be made an auditor to his mother's pleadings before the throne of grace. This devoted mother gave her son to the Lord, asking that he might be called into the ministry. Her prayers have been answered, though she did not live to see it.
