Suggested edit: Sarah was the daughter of Joseph Owen and Eilizabeth White. The date of her birth and first marriage to William Tompkins are recorded in the family bible of Joseph Owen. William died in 1859 in Bureau County, Illinois, leaving a probate file that names Sarah and their two children, Daniel Sidney Tompkins and Joseph Albert Tompkins.
She married a second time in 1863 to George Gillespie, who enlisted in Co F 57th Illinois Infantry but died of measles before his first muster. Sarah had their only child after his death, Ruth Ann (Gillespie) O'Marra.
Her third marriage in 1867 was to Levi Akers and they were parents of five children. Much of the information about Sarah's three marriages is from her Civil War Pension Application, which was filed twice, first in 1865 as Sarah Gillespie and second in 1870 as Sarah Akers.
