[S2360] Smith, Lawrence C, Find a Grave - Ancestor (Sanderson): BITTLE Sarah Futrell, (Name: SmithLC.com;), BITTLE Sarah Futrell 1752-1817. Sarah Futrell, the Matriarch of the Futrell Family of Trigg County, Kentucky, was a native of Northampton County, North Carolina. Her maiden name [has been stated] as either Bittle or Ricks, [with Ricks being disproven, and Bittle being supported as was documented by 1xGreat-grandson, L. Shadrach Futrell on 24 Oct 1905] . She was a member of the historic Potecasi Baptist Church in Northampton County. Sarah's husband, Thomas Futrell, died in Northampton County in 1796; he was a Revolutionary War Patriot. Sarah Futrell, her adult son, John Futrell, and her younger children left Northampton County, in 1803; they settled in the Western country on Donaldson Creek, in then Christian County, Kentucky. Sarah brought three enslaved African Americans with her. Several of Thomas and Sarah's older children stayed back in Northampton County when she came to Kentucky in 1803, but, they too, followed her west; Sarah's entire family eventually settled at Donaldson Creek. Sarah Futrell was a charter member of Dry Creek Primitive Baptist Church which was some four miles south of her Donaldson Creek homestead. Sarah's date of death was entered in the churches' minute book. Donaldson Creek became a part of Trigg County when the latter district was formed in 1820. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/103736057 [S78] World Family Tree, (Name: Family Tree Maker;), WFT - Vol 18, Ed 1, Tree #2096.
