  6. In 1830 census, Sarah was aged 50-60 (born between 1770 and 1780)
    In 1820 census, Sarah was aged over 45 (born before 1775)
    In 1810 census, Sarah was aged 26-44 (born between 1766-1784)
    Using all three census records, she was born between 1766 and 1775.

    Sarah's youngest child was born about 1810. Using the estimated birth dates from census records, she would have been between 35 and 44 years of age. An age of 40-42 is most likely for the time of birth for a last child.

    Using the estimated birth date of her youngest child gives Sarah an estimated birth date of 1768-1770.
    Assuming Sarah was between 15 and 20 years of age when she married, about 1790, gives an estimated birth date between 1770 and 1775.

    All estimates for birth dates cluster around 1770, plus or minus a year or two, perhaps about 1768.
