Sarah Futrell, the Matriarch of the Futrell Family of Trigg County, Kentucky, was a native of Northampton County, North Carolina. Her maiden name was either Bittle or Ricks. She was a member of the historic Potecasi Baptist Church in Northampton County. Sarah's husband, Thomas Futrell, died in Northampton County in 1796; he was a Revolutionary War Patriot. Sarah Futrell, her adult son, John Futrell, and her younger children left Northampton County, in 1803; they settled in the Western country on Donaldson Creek, in then Christian County, Kentucky. Sarah brought three African American slaves with her. Several of Thomas and Sarah's older children stayed back in Northampton County when she came to Kentucky in 1803, but, they too, followed her west; Sarah's entire family eventually settled at Donaldson Creek. Sarah Futrell was a charter member of Dry Creek Primitive Baptist Church which was some four miles south of her Donaldson Creek homestead.
