Sarah was kin to the Wells family on her mother's side. Her middle name has also been recorded as Syrama, as well as Sylvany in the Virginia, Deaths and Burials Index, 1853-1917 shown on Ancestry. It seemed to come from one of the grandmother Wells, and the Wells family often used Sylvania, which was often pronounced as Sylvany in that region. The grave marker uses a simple initial S.
