Census information for Sarah Jane Fay and her family |
| |

George Minott Baker, age 24, is living with sister Abby, mother Lavina, and father Jacob in Lincoln. Abigail Prescott Baker was born at Lincoln on September 13, 1823, d. 7/17/1908.
|

Sarah Jane has married George M. Baker and they are living in Lincoln now. Two daughters are with them, Susan S. and Lavina M. "Susan" later appears as 'Sadie' and, after her marriage, as 'Sarah.' It is likely that the census recorder simply misunderstood when he wrote 'Susan.' Her birth was registered as "Sarah Snow Baker."
