There is no known relationship between Dr. Decalb Lipscomb and Sarah's husband Richard Lipscomb. The doctor's age indicates that he could have been a son of Sarah and Richard, but no records to support that have been found. Furthermore, he was of an age that put him as being born in the same year as Martha A. R. Lipscomb. It is possible that he and Martha were twins, but she was listed as being born in Alabama, whereas Decalb was listed as being born in Tennessee. The Tennessee connection and the fact that he lived in the northeastern part of Madison County suggests that Decalb was part of a Lipscomb family that was known to live in southern Franklin County, TN, with some branches who settled in Jackson County, Alabama.
