Between 1870 and 1880 James Q. Leslie died and Sarah moved back
in with her father and mother. |
|
The 1880
Iredell County Census shows that Daniel, age 74, was married to
Elizabeth, but this was
undoubtedly a second wife, also named Elizabeth. She was
considerably younger than Daniel. There were two
step-children living with the family named John and Jane
Benfield, indicating that Elizabeth had been married to an
(Unknown) Benfield before marrying Daniel Fink. |
|
The Census shows Sarah/Sallie Leslie/Lasley living with her
parents. |

It does appear that this is indeed the death certificate for
Sarah Fink Leslie/Lasley, although the last name looks like it
could be Lester. Sarah was 83 years old and living in
Coddle Township, Mooresville, Iredell County, NC. It lists
her father as Daniel Fink and mother as Elizabeth
Brover/Broyer/Beaver.
According to Census information, Sarah's birthdate had been
estimated as 1831. The death certificate shows her date of
birth as 05 Sep 1831. Sarah died on 13 Jun 1915 from
colitis (inflammation of the large intestine). They also
list "old age". The death certificate further states that
she was "illiterate". The certificate says that she
was to be buried in Hiddenite, NC. |
