Sophia E. Fink           Born: 1844, NC Died: 19 Apr 1915, Shiloh Township, Iredell County   Sophia E. Fink was the sixth child born to Daniel Fink and Elizabeth Beaver.  Sophia was born about 1844 in Rowan County, NC.       The 1850 Iredell County Census shows Sophia Fink as a 6-years-old and living at home with his parents and all of his siblings.     1850 Iredell County Census   First Name Last name Age Sex Occupation Place of Birth Danl Fink 47 M Laborer NC Elizabeth " 41 F   " Sally C.

E.), age 34, still living on the family farm.  Her father, Daniel, had remarried to a new wife, whose name was apparently also Elizabeth.  This Elizabeth was considerably younger than Daniel and the Census lists two step-children living with the family.  Sophia's sister, Sarah/Sallie Leslie/Lasley, had returned home after the death of her husband.     1880 Iredell County Census   Name Personal       Health Education   Last Name First Name Sex Age Relation Single Married Occupation Idiotic Disabled School Can't Write Birth Fink Daniel M 74   M Farmer   X     NC ----- Elizabeth F 52 Wife M Keeping House   X     " ----- S.

Benfield (age 25), who had 1 child (more than likely Robert, age 1 5/12) living with the family.  Could this have been a daughter of Sophia's sister, Susanah, who married Lee Benfield?     1910 Rowan County Census   Last Name First Name Relation Sex Race Age S/M/W Yrs.
