Sarah Wardell was born in Indiana in 1812, two months before the War of 1812. "Her mother, Maria H. Pike, was the daughter of Col. Zebulon Pike, a Revolutionary hero. Her mother's brother was Lieut. Zebulon Pike, the discoverer of Pike's Peak in Colorado." [1] Thus, Sarah is the niece of Lt. Zebulon Pike (Pike's Peak in Colorado Springs bears his name).
Rev. Charles Sturdevant was born in 1807 in Pennsylvania. He was the oldest of seven children born to Stephen and Sarah Tash Sturdevant. Charles graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, with a degree in theology. This degree led him to his life's work as a Presbyterian minister. Rev. Sturdevant spent the next several years preaching at various places in Indiana.
Charles and Sarah were united in marriage on May 24, 1835, in Indiana. The couple was blessed with three children, Clara, Charles, and Matilda Jane, all born in Indiana.
In 1865, the family moved to Independence, Missouri, where the Rev. was the president of a female college. Charles and Sarah accompanied their three children to Pawnee County in 1870, where Charles continued to preach at various churches in the area.
At age seventy-nine, Charles passed away, and Sarah died on her 97th birthday, 9, 1909. Larned Cemetery is their final resting place.
Their children –
Clara (1838-1901) married Thomas L. Byrne; however, "her husband mysteriously disappeared in 1870 and is supposed to have been murdered by the notorious Bender gang." [2] Their children were Harry, Lawrence, and Mabel.
Cpl. Charles (1846-1930) enlisted in Co. A 11 IN Infantry during the Civil War. He married Anna Walters in 1900 and they raised two children. He and Anna are buried in Alva, Oklahoma.
Matilda Jane "Jennie" (1849-1914) married Col. Wesley R. Adams and was one of the pioneering women in Pawnee County.
Note: The descendants of Charles Sturdevant have researched back to 1650, when William Sturdevant was born in the Colony of Connecticut.
The rest of the story: The U.S., Kansas, Enrollment of Civil War Veterans, 1889, records that Thomas L. Byrne served in the Civil War as a sergeant from New York. He was wounded, but no pension is listed. The remarks section reads, "Disappeared in 1873 and has not been heard from since."
