Richard
I really want to thank you for your responses and for taking the time to send me
the census info. The reason I asked about your source of the info is to make sure
that ther wasn't a mistake during posting of the info. I pretty much assumed the
same thing about Sarah being listed as a spinster.

As for listing Sarah J. as a "spinster" in the eighteen hundreds they
didn't live as long as we do now and they were qick to list a single woman
as a spinster.I also think they wanted to list a occupation fo everyone
over the age of 15 or so and needed something to list for Sarah.
