Is Sarah McCourt Sarah Unknown Stiles? [closed]

Question

The wife of John Stiles has an unknown surname. As Ancestry does, it often suggests ancestors based on people's trees.

I have disproved the suggestion of Huntress previously. The new suggestion which has appeared is McCourt.

If you want a puzzle, please help me source the profile of Sarah McCourt to determine whether she is indeed the Sarah Unknown.

Well I have found an initial error, however, without an Ancestry membership I cannot tag the record. If someone else would I would appreciate it. Please comment on this page: http://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/113339038/person/142067767231/facts?lang=en-US  that the information here is incorrect according to https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/61402029/james-augustus-mccord

Answer 1

I understand John Allan Stiles (1837-1911) was married to Sarah A. McCourt (1834-1871).  Marriage was in Arkansas in 1870.  John had a second wife, Margaret Wood (1846-1924).  Sarah was born in Missouri and died in Yellville, AR.  There are quite a few references in Family Search.  A distant relative is in the Church doing quality assurance on the records.

Thank you. I bet you are right and this is probably the genesis of the error. Thank you very much.

Answer 2

On Sarah Stiles headstone profile is a page from a book about the marriage of John Stiles and Sarah Huntress.  https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/17651086/sarah-stiles

Yes I posted that and it shows that the surname is not Huntress.  Currently I am seeking information on Sarah McCourt and wish to disprove her as well.  If you have the option of changing your comment from an "Answer" to a "Comment" I would appreciate it so that this question will remain "Unanswered"

On the headstone page, there is photo of a page listing Berwick Maine Marriages,  7 Dec., 1783 marriage of John Hanson Stiles and Sarah Huntress.

Yes.  That is what I posted. Different couple.  Different lady.  I posted it because so many people have confused this lady with Sarah Unknown in North Carolina and I have been trying to eradicate the error for years but it keeps sneaking back
