My ResearchNote*an 1840 marriage license was issued in Henry County to a Micla Harrington and Sarah Driggers. The Driggers were linked to the Rosier Brannon family by marrriage of Elizabeth Galloway, Anzilla's sister, to a Driggers. Consider whether Sarah Harrington, in the household of Rosier / Anzilla Brannon is a daughter of Micla / Sarah and therefore Anzilla's niece. 
Birth*2 July 1843Alabama, USA; Sarah's biological parents are not known. As a 17 year old she lived in the household of Rosier and Anzilla Brannon in 1860 (As Sarah Harrington), but not in 1850 when she would have been age 7. Rosier's will identifies Sarah L. Harrington as his daughter, and states "It is also my desire that Sarah L. Harrington shall be an equal heir at law and coequal with the rest of my children in the division of the foregoing estate." This may imply that she was adopted, or that she was a highly-regarded other relative. I treat her as adopted for now.8,2,9,4 
(Resident) Census11 September 1860Rosier Brannon, Anzilla Galloway; Freeman's Beat #9, HH 74, Henry County, Alabama, USA; Household was adjacent to Rosier/Anzilla sons James E. Brannon and Jehoiakim E. Brannon.

(The following children were listed by census taker as born in SC (using dup marks). This is no doubt an error and all should have been listed as born in Alabama since Rosier and Anzilla were in Alabama by 1837.)
