  Noted events in her life were:

1. Census in 1850 in Lowhill Twp., Lehigh, PA. ²⁰ A Sarah George (age 24) is listed in a household headed by Jacob George (age 68, farmer) that also includes wife Lydia (51), Reuben (30), Daniel (17), Elizabeth (20), Elmira (15), Femina? (10 or 12?), and Lydia (10). Everyone's birthplace is listed as Pennsylvania.
This perhaps explains why we cannot find her husband Solomon listed in the 1850 Census. Although the couple married in February 1850, she may have been living at home with her parents, perhaps because Solomon had traveled elsewhere around August 6, 1850, the day the census was recorded?
