Talk:Sarah Jane Road Legend/@comment-72.176.238.90-20201027014147

1. Neither Groves nor Port Neches existed at the time of the American Civil War.

2. Sarah Jane who? If you mean Sarah Jane Sweeney, for whom the road is supposedly named for, she passed away in the 1980s, and couldn't possibly have been alive during the Civil War.

3. Federal soldiers never came through this area.. there was nothing of military significance between Beaumont and Sabine Pass. And the occupation troops who garrisoned Beaumont after the war arrived there by steamboat.

4. Why would Federal troops want to randomly kill a woman and her baby?

5. The Neches River flows paralle to modern-day Sarah Jane road, and over a mile away from it. The only body of water near the road, assuming it even existed in the 1860s, was Molasses Bayou.

6. Some people have seen a noose hanging beneath the bridge? The concrete bridge that's there now doesn't clear the water enough for someone to harm themselves in such a way.
