Copyright Notice

     She was probably one of the two females under age 10 listed in the household of her father, John Cobb, in the 1800 Federal Census of Pawlet, Rutland Co., Vermont.17 She was probably the female age 10 to 16 listed in the household of her father in the 1810 Federal Census of Orwell, Rutland Co., Vermont.18
     She was named an heir in the will of John Cobb, her father, dated 10 Sep 1815, to receive an equal share with her brother Horace, and her sisters of the furniture left to her mother, after her death, plus furniture equal to what had been advanced to her sister Abigail at age 18 or her marriage.19
     Sarah and Alpheus had settled in Shelburne, in Chittenden Co., north of Orwell near Lake Champlain, before 1840. Her mother, Mary Fuller, lived with them after the death of her husband. (See map.) Sarah was probably the female age 40 to 50 listed in the household of her husband, Alpheus Bacon, in the 1840 Federal Census of Shelburne, Chittenden Co., Vermont.20
     Sarah and Alpheus appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Brighton, Monroe Co., New York, enumerated 18 Sep 1850. Their children John and Mary were listed as living with them. They were apparently living very close her brother Gideon as the two families are listed one after the other on the census record.21

Children with Alpheus Bacon:

The number of unidentified female children in the household in the 1840 censuses suggests Alpheus and Sarah may have had other unknown daughters.
