  • Notes 
    • Sarah is age 18 in the 1875 Federal Census. She is living with her widowed mother in Providence, along with her brother John, and (probably) her daughter Ada, age 1. Beside Ada's name is written "granddaughter, illegitimate."

      In 1880 she is married to George L. Nottage, and has three daughters.

      I have wondered if Sarah's middle name was Maria, after her paternal grandmother. One family tree has her middle name as Malvina. One of her daughters has the middle name Melvina, so possibly that was it.

      Our grandfather named a daughter Sarah Melvina Berry.
