Four months later, Sarah Jane caused no small scandal in the family by disrespecting the dead, according to her mother, and marrying Cornelous "Neal" Patty. Apparently, Sarah was something of a spitfire, for less than a year after their marriage, Neal told cousin Lewis Gann that Sarah Jane was "too mean" and that he didn't want her anymore. Supposedly, Lewis Gann traded Neal a knife in order to have Sarah Jane for his wife. Neal ran off with a young girl less than a year after his and Sarah Jane's marriage. No marriage record or, for that matter, divorce record has yet been found for Sarah Jane and Neal Patty. In 1870, Sarah Jane and Lewis were living in Dallas Co., MO.
