Sarah, later called Sally was the first of U.S. deputy marshal Bass Reeves' eleven documented children with his first wife Jennie. She married Green Sanders (1859-1914) and they lived in Ft. Smith, Ark. in the early 1900s. He was a cook in a restaurant. Sarah apparently died after 1913 as she is hard to track after this year, when her father's will was probated.

The Sanders Family lived at 712 North 10th Street and Green was a cook at the Royal Cafe, according to the 1910 Fort Smith City Directory.

Sarah can be found on the 1870, 1880 and 1900 U.S. Census in Arkansas, where it was stated consistently that she was born in Texas for thirty years. It was also noted in the 1900 Census that Mrs. Sanders' parents were both born in TEXAS, corroborating Richard D. Fronterhouse's 1959 interview of Bass' daughter Alice Reeves Spahn and other documents.

"Notice"
Bass Reeves had six documented boys and five documented girls with his first wife that can
be found in the 1870, 1890 and 1900 U.S. Census. Over the years, people apparently outside
of the Bass Reeves Family have added others through confusion, misinformation and little documentation on findagrave (most removed) and other genealogy websites. A case in point, the William Reeves (born 1877 in OK.) attached to Bass and his first has wife by Judy Young has no census or any other known connection to the U.S. deputy marshal.

Their children:

Charley, born Dec. 1881, Source: 1900 U.S. Census for Fort Smith, Ark.
Topsy, b. 1899 and died July 15, 1899, Fort Smith, Source: Sebastian County death record.
