Narrative
JOHN CARTER STURGILL was born in Ashe Co. NC but went to Scott Co. VA and then to Sullivan Co, MO with his father. He met and married his wife Sarah Ann Donoho in Missouri where they made their first home and where their first child was born. About 1852 they moved to Westpoint, Kansas where their other children were born and where Sarah died in 1855. After the death of Sarah, John brought the children back to Missouri to live with their grandparents and then returned to Kansas where he was killed in a cattle stampede a few months later. When their grandmother died in 1864 John's brother took the children and took them to Oregon with him. - pg 93A
NOTE: West Point was the original name of Kansas City, KS.
