Birth Register for a Sarah Isner with parents listed as Jefferson and Martha Isner.  The date shown is July 15, 1866.  Sarah (Sallie) consistently shows up as 9 (1870),  19 and 20 (1880), 40 ( in 1900). Meaning Sarah was born around 1860/1861. 

Question is, who really is, this Sarah Isner in the birth register?  Was this a delayed registration? Were the wrong parents listed?  Birth records for Randolph Co. appear to be missing between 1860-1865 when Sarah was possibly actually born.  When searching under the name Isner in Randolph Co., there are no Isner births shown between 1860-1865. http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_bcsearch.aspx
