Samuel 8 (1862) MO
Sarah 6 (1864) MO
William 3 (1867) MO
Thurston 1 (1869) MO
John 1 (1869) MO
Note: Several of the children are not on my list, plus John's age is quite a bit off. Samuel, age 8, would be the right age for Samuel R. Sterling, Charles's age, William's age and Lydia's age would be correct. Difference in age of Liza. Relationships are not listed on this census. Liza's children from her first husband were Sarah, John and Lydia. (Note: The 1860 census and the 1870 census appears to be the same family as ours although the ages of some differ a bit as does the place of birth for the parents. It so, it appears that Samuel and Liza may have been married before the 1866 date that appears on several family trees which were used as sources. [From Ida Londo]
