Sarah "Sallie" (Roup) (Hinshaw) Page was the daughter of John Roup who was a native of North Carolina, and Isabel Davis who was born in Tennessee.*

Sarah was probably born in Tennessee as this is her birth location according to the 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1900 census records, and according to her Missouri Death Certificate. In the 1880 census she is shown as born in Indiana, and in the 1910 shown as born in Kentucky, but these are believed to be wrong. Sarah's family moved from Tennessee to Indiana, and finally to Missouri. They went from Tennessee to Indiana between 1840 and 1842, according to the births of the children. They were in Missouri by 1850.

Walker Oldham 24 (farm hand)

Barton/Bert and Reed Page in this census appear to be the children of John and Sarah Page. However, in the 1900 census, it states that Sarah has given birth to only 5 children, and this would be her 5 children by Jesse Hinshaw. Barton and Reed Page may have been John Page's sons by a previous marriage, but this information has not yet been verified.

Bert E. Page 23, blacksmith

*The parents' names were obtained from Jan Hinshaw because the information is unclear on Sarah's death certificate.
