Census Notes for Sarah Rebecca Prince
In 1880 she was listed with her mother as Sarah R. Sparks, age 17.
I have not been able to identify her in 1870. She is not with Edy, so she was probably with some other relative, but the 1870 census did not record relationships, and there are too many candidates to pick from, especially since she apparently went by both Prince and Sparks.
