• Notes

  Birth Place Notes: Sarah is listed with the county of birth in the 1860 Census. Age Variation: Sarah is listed as being born in 1856 in the 1860 & 1870 Census. In Findagrave it shows her birth year being 1860. She is listed in the 1860 Census in June of 1860. So both birth dates seem to be off. The 1900 Census has her being born in December 1860. My thought is that she was born in December 1859 most likely but i will put what is on the death Certificate.
