Update on Sarah Jane Roop

I found the census record I needed to pin down Sarah Jane's family before moving to Missouri.

U.S. Census, 1850, Plumcreek, Armstrong, PA

Roop, age, DOB
  • John, 32, 1818
  • Sarah, 30, 1820
  • Henry S., 6, 1844
  • Caroline, 4, 1846
  • Phebe, 2, 1848
  • Sarah Jane, 3 mo., 1850


Neighbors are:

Roop, age, DOB
  • Adam, 63, 1787
  • Phebe, 61, 1789
  • Jacob, 21, 1829

After looking at various Sarah Jane Roops over the years, I was really comfortable with the way all the names and dates fell into place with this census record. I'm ready to say that this is Sarah Jane (b.1850) who married James Monroe Groves (b.1844).

I can now trace much of this family at this page at Family Tree Maker.
