Okay I'll leave the 1835 birthyear since that's what it says on her grave but keep in mind that her Kansas Death Certificate says she was born 26d 8m 1834 and apparently in Indiana according to 1880 Federal Census returns. The only information her death certificate says about her parents was that her father John KELLEY was born in Kentucky and her mother's name was left unknown. If she indeed was the daughter of a John KELLEY then the John KELLEY who appears on 1840 federal census returns for Buchanan Co, Missouri may be her father. Problem is I cannot find him in 1850 to get more information on him. After she was widowed in 1914, Sarah moved to Topeka, Shawnee Co, Kansas to live with her daughter Minerva Jane (GILMORE) SPICKELMIRE and so this is why she died in Topeka.
