Sheila,
I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for sharing this article on Sarah Rector on your blog. Sarah was my grandmother so of course it is wonderful to see her life shared with others. Stacey Patton presented a true and wonderful peice on her. She is a very talented writer so it was an honor to read her article. The Campbell/Rector families are currently putting together information regarding Sarah’s life in an colabrative effort to share her history. I thank you again for your post.

Kelvin Rector has written a trilogy about this, the true story of his family, his aunt was Sarah Rector, the “Richest Colored Girl in the world” http://kelvinrector.com

His writings go from 1866 when 16,000 slaves were turned over to the Creek Nation till now and how it relates to who he is today and how it has effected his life, a very compelling story. .
