She was the sole heir of Sarah's will, and was referred to as her step daughter. The date of Sarah's marriage and Elizabeth's death, combined with her age for the 1860 and 1870 census, have led me to change her birth from Apr 1853 to Apr 1851 as the daughter of Elizabeth, with the assumption that it was in Guernsey Co. Her mother may have died in childbirth, and it may be a coincidence that her name is the same as his 3rd wife, or she could have been named later!
