  • According to family notes by her niece Susan Campbell Rowland Abbott, Sarah Quentina Campbell was first married to Dr. Jared Irwin of Milledgeville (who may have been a son of Gov. Jared Irwin). No evidence of this marriage or relevant biographical information about Dr. Jared Irwin has yet been found. Interestingly, though, in May 1812, the following notice appeared in the Georgia Journal: A division of the notes and accounts due the late firm of Irwin & Fort has this day made-- persons indebted can ascertain into whose hands they have fallen by calling on Doctor Fort, who is authorised to receive payments, and to liquidate such accounts as remain unsettled-- It is indispensably necessary that all sums due the estate of Jared Irwin, dec'd, should be immediately collected.

  • Eddie Eliza Campbell wrote in a letter to Evelina Wood on 10 February 1850, ". . . Sister Sarah took Isaac home with her, he took a violent cold after he had been there a fortnight and is down now with violent rheumatism. Sister Flora left last Thursday for Macon, I cannot tell how long she will be absent, she will return as soon as she can bring Isaac, poor child he ought not to have been trusted to any one but those that know him only as we know him at home, and I could not help thinking it was madness to send him back to Macon."
  • Eddie Eliza Campbell wrote in a letter to Evelina Wood, "I should have sent my letter at once but Mrs Brown told me she should send hers and Sister Flora wrote for yours to be sent to her as soon as we received them. I wrote you before that she was there nursing poor Isaac, who went home with his aunt Sarah and was taken very ill and is still unable to stand up. I mention this again for fear my letter has not reached you." on 25 February 1850.
  • Sarah Quentina Campbell appeared in the US federal census of 1 June 1850 in Macon, Bibb County, Georgia. Other members of the household included Anne E. Fluker.

  • After Charles Whitehead's death, Susannah Tomlinson Whitehead married Arthur Fort. They were the parents of Dr. Tomlinson Fort who likely was associated with Dr. Jared Irwin before his death in 1812. It seems possible that Rhoda Fort, first married to Mark Red Wood, and her second husband Wm Tomlinson, are connected with these two.
