 Another name for Sadie was Sarah J. Robinson.1
General Notes:
There are several birth years for Sarah and the 1900 US Census does little to provide any definitive information about her birth but rather adds a date of 1874 with additional information that she had been married for 15 years at the time of the census. That would have meant that she was only 10 years old when she was married.
Her gravestone indicates a birth year of 1859.

NOTE - The enumerator sure mixed up dates and ages for this family. He entered that Sadie had no children still alive yet lists one son that is only 7 years old. Since they had been married for 15 years, the 7 year old son must have been born to Sadie. The birth year for Sadie was given as 1874 and her age as only 25. If she had already been married, that would mean that she was only 10 years old when she was married. Obviously her birth year was probably closer to 1866 which was originally offered by researcher William Arthur Richards, Jr. That would make her true age about 34 instead of the 25 written by the enumerator. And that would also mean that she was about 19 years old when she was married.
