Notes - MHR note: "Sarah (Hedges) Gilkison was a midwife. The record we have is one written on the pages of a little notebook, some of the leaves of which have become lost. What we have of her record begins with the year 1864, near the close of the Civil War. As Sarah did not marry until she was 28 years old, probably she had gone with her mother, Rosannah (Ribelin) Hedges, and assisted her at some of the births at which her mother had officiated. Just what territory Sarah covered in her attendance at the births does not appear, but probably mostly in the community back in the hills, called Triplett, and environs. She rode horseback on her missions. Just what her equipment was, is unknown to the compiler of this record."
