Daughter to Frederick Grass and Betsy Ward. Sarah married William Redifer December 30 , 1799 in Staunton, Augusta County, Virginia.
1799 -- December 30, William Rediford and Fredk. Grass, surety. William Rediford and Sarah Grass, daughter of Frederick Grass
She gave birth to 12 children in a period of 26 years and lost 4 babies in infancy. There is no record of daughter Elizabeth after her birth in 1804 in Bath county.
Life was not easy for women taking care of children, laundry, cooking, cleaning, even boiling the wash and bath water, it was a constant struggle to just cook as there was fire wood to be cut and stacked , stored for the hard winters, even cooking over a hot stove during the heat of the summer, yes times were hard on those back then.
The hardships were sometime unbearable for everyone, children dying from measles and a case of colic, but somehow they ( most ) made it though. Sarah was one of those hardy pioneer women by the looks as she did live to reach 74 years. Her and William lived their remaining years with daughter Annie and her husband Thomas Price in Sangersville.
