Sarah was born Oct 12, 1802 in Rockingham Co., NC. She married Zachariah Fewell Dec. 24, 1818 in Rockingham Co., NC. They had twelve children. About 1833 they moved to Missouri, first to Howard Co. MO where Benjamin Franklin Fewell was born and later to Benton Co., MO. Zack became the first representative of Benton Co. He died in 1842 and Sarah remarried Henry Fewell in 1845, but in the 1850 MO census she is listed as head of household with her children, so she perhaps was widowed again.. There were no children by the second marriage. The childrens names are, Mary Odineal FEWELL, Jane Ann FEWELL, Francis E.FEWELL, Sarah Matilda FEWELL, Martha Melinda FEWELL, Zachariah Rufus FEWELL, John Blair FEWELL, Benjamin Franklin FEWELL, William Mason FEWELL, James Patrick FEWELL, Thomas Benton FEWELL and Susan F. FEWELL..

    Mary Odineal FEWELL married Henry H. Means Sept 5, 1844, they had eight children, Samuel A., Benjamin F., Zackary T., Sarah, Susan Ellen, Mary Lou, Millard Harrison, and Milton O.
    A Lou Means married G. W. Carrol Oct 20, 1883 and a Mary S. Means married a J. A. McIntire Oct. 18, 1883 both in Henry Co., MO. It is possible that one of these is the Mary Lou.
    The known descendants of Mary Odineal FEWELL are currently traced through:

    Millard Harrison Means married Adaline Peckenpaugh Aug 4, 1881, they had seven children.

    Pearl was born May 29, 1883. She married a Mr. Hinckler.
    I believe that Pearl died in Centralia, IL.

    Mary was born Aug. 28, 1885. She married Thomas W. McNanmara. Thomas was a lawyer and they lived in Kansas City, MO. Thomas died Dec. 9, 1968, in Kansas City and Mary died May 1977 in Daly City, CA. He is buried at Mt Moriah Cemetery in Kansas City, MO.

Means had suffered a stroke but was recovering at his daughters home (Mrs. Jim Underwood). He died before Sept. 1, 1932 but the date is unknown at this time. They had three children.

    Stella was born July 1886 and married Jim Underwood.

Dora was born Aug. 1887 and died in 1927 apparently unmarried. Her headstone has Donna as her name and other info states Dora. I'm going with the headstone.
