Name	Sarah Grant
Born	23 Aug 1829	Victory, Cayuga, New York, United States [1, 2]
	Sarah's obituary in the Syracuse Daily Journal in 1897 lists her birth year as August 1812, which appears to be a typographical error. All of her census records and other notes about her funeral put her birth year sometime around 1829.
Gender	Female
Census	1830	Victory, Cayuga, New York, United States [3]
	In 1830, only the heads of households were listed by name, with everyone else recorded just by their current age. The census lists David's household as having 1 male under the age of 5, one male aged 10-15, one male 30-40 (David), one female under the age of 5 (Sarah), and one female 30-40 (Salome). The identities of the two boys are unknown at this time; the one aged 10-15 seems too old to have been their child (perhaps a nephew or younger brother?), but the one under the age of 5 could be a currently unknown son. Role: Household
		1830 U.S. census - David Grant household (Town of Victory, Cayuga Co., NY) David's entry is fifth from the bottom of the page. David Grant - 1 male under 5 years of age; 1 male of 10 and under 15; 1 male of 30 and under 40; 1 female under 5 years of age; 1 female of 30 and under 40.
Census	1840	Victory, Cayuga, New York, United States [4]
	Six people are enumerated in David's household in this census, but as in earlier censuses only the head of household is identified by name in 1840. There is one male child under the age of 5 (Franklin), one male age 10-15 (likely the same unknown child who was enumerated in 1830), one male age 30-40 (possibly a farm laborer?), one male age 40-50 (David), one female child age 10-15 (Sarah) and one female age 40-50 (Salome). Role: Household
		1840 U.S. census - David Grant household (Town of Victory, Cayuga Co., NY) David's entry is sixth from the top of the page. David Grant. 1 male under 5, 1 male 10 & under 15, 1 male 30 & under 40, 1 male 40 & under 50, 1 female 10 & under 15, 1 female 40 & under 50. 6 people in household, 2 employed in agriculture
