• She arrived in New Orleans on 5 April 1852 via the ship Ellen Maria. On that ship's passenger list, her name is listed with three siblings: Stephen, Henry, and Fanny Wood. Three of their traveling party of six in the 1852 John Tidwell company are unaccounted for so it is very possible that Sarah was actually traveling with them. Further research is needed to confirm this.
