Thanks to my fragrant cousin who makes such wonderful handmade soap, we can add more information about another daughter of Elizabeth Helton and Blakely A. Edins/Eddins. So let's talk about Sarah.
She's Sarah A./L. Eddins/Edins. Maybe Sarah A. L Edins, after her aunt, Sarah Ann L. Chatwood, who married Hiram E. Eddins, brother of Blakley.
Let's start with what we can prove from the AL Federal censuses.
In the 1860 US Census for AL, Sarah L. Eddins is living with her parents Blakely and Elizabeth Helton Eddins in East Side Cahaba River, Bibb County. She is 7, born AL; thus born about 1853. The Edins family is living near many people who are a part of their extended family or who will influence their lives: the Barnetts, the Heltons, the Fanchers, the Hardys, etc.

In the 1870 US Census for AL, Sarah A. Eddins is living with her parents in Shelby County, Beat 6. She is 17, born AL.

The very next year she gets married.
Sarah Edings married John Honeycutt on Sunday, October 22, 1871, in Shelby County, AL. You can find one listing here:

As my cousin says, this site is maintained by Bobby Seales, and the info is 99.44% guaranteed to be correct. I've never had bad info from this site.
The second source is FamilySearch.org, which lists John as "Honeycult":

Can we learn any more about Sarah A./L Eddins Honeycutt/Hunnicutt?
Maybe. But as there are several John Honeycutts/Hunnicuts, we shall have to look and see.
