*IGI records gives her maiden name as Hamblyn.
*Per Donald Jobe (descenant) 2000
"I visited the Library in Russellville, Arkansas; the Arkansas History Commission in Little Rock, and the Vital REcords Division in Little Rock trying to locate a marriage record for Jonathan, or any other record that would verify his wife's name but no luck. Census records indicate her name to be Sarah, however the death certificate for Nehemiah lists her name as Mary Hamlin. That information was supplied by Robert Wilson. The only connection I can find with anyone named Wilson to the Jobe family is that Alice Jobe (daughter of William Rufus 'Bud' Jobe and grandniece of Nehemiah) was married to a Wilson.I also visited my uncle William in Beaux Bridge, LA. He will be 96 in July and his memory is not what it used to be. He does not recall Robert Wilson. He does recall the Hamlin name from somewhere in the past, but does not remember the connection.
I guess the name of Nehemiah's mother (Sarah or Mary) will remain a mystery for a while. I can find no indication there were any half-brothers or sisters in this family."

Thomas Hellmer, who photographed the tombstone, writes:
Hard to read in the picture but this is definitely Sarah Ann's stone. Next to her are several childrens' markers which all read ...son or daughter of Sarah & LT Bowden.
