      Virginia as the birth state (Research of Mrs. Jayne Davis
      Szaz in the CCHA Files).
      The 1880 US Census shows her name as Sarah E.

      Name: S. E. Holt

      and living in the household of her son, Calvin Lea Holt.
      She reported having 14 children, 8 of which were alive.
      Thus, two children apparently died in the 1900-1910 period.
