(Living with husband, 2 children, and probably a brother-in-law.)

NOTE - Even though the name was written down as Sarah instead of Leah, I believe they are the same person. It was either an enumerator mistake or perhaps a middle name or nickname of Leah's. Their 1900 US Census indicates that they were married about 1848 so that fits well into the dates of the children listed on this census.
