age 8, but the other 3 of the 4 oldest children's ages are 2 years too young, so it is assumed that hers is as well.
↑ 11 Jul 1860 and 9 Jan 1862 are given in many trees as the birth dates of Louise and Eliza Starkey, daughters in this family. 9 Jan 1862 is too close to Sarah's birth date (assuming that her birth date is correct). It seems likely that there was only one daughter between Alpheus and Sarah (named Eliza in the 1870 census). It is not clear if she was born 11 Jul, 9 Jan or some other date.
