Family of Charles W SCOFIELD and Sarah C HAYDEN
Charles W SCOFIELD d. 1900 bef1832.
Sarah C HAYDEN b. 1844 Jul1832 at New York1858. d. 1937 Jun 163309 at at home on Ridge Road, Parma Corners, NY3309. bd. Parma Corners, NY3309.
Married3314 1861?3309. The marriage record3314 for Helen V Flume to Frank A Dunn lists Helen's parents' names, including her mother's maiden name. Sarah's obituary3309 states she was married ~1861, though she appears in the 1870 census as single, living with her parents.
Charles' deathdate is assumed from the 1900 census1832 in which Sarah Scofield is listed as a widow.
Records indicate Sarah's birthyear variously as 1839 to 1845. Indicated herein, July, 1844, is taken from the 1900 census1832.
Sarah's obituary3309, which depicts Sarah at the age of 99 and the oldest resident in the vicinity, relates a previous interview with her (she related the same story two years prior.) In that interview, she said she had been taken to Washington as a bride by her husband in 1861. When asked if she was ever in the White House, she replied, "Oh, yes, indeed," that she had attended a reception given by Mrs. Lincoln, and had shaken hands with Mr. Lincoln. However, that story is likely apochryphal. Though her obituary gives her birthdate as July 4, 1839, all records currently found indicate a date closer to 1843 or 1844. On July 28, 1860, the earliest indication of her birth, she is listed1858 as age 17, therefore born ~1843. In 1870, she is listed1863 as age 26, therefore born ~1844. In the 1900 census, she gave her birthdate as Jul 1844; daughter Helen is listed as age 30, born Jan 1870. As late as 1930, she is listed as age 88 (therefore born ~1842), and had married at the age of 20. That information implies she would have been married in 1862 at the earliest. However, as mentioned above, she appears in the 1870 census as Sarah Hayden, age 26, still living with her parents in Rome, NY. Her daughter, Helen Scofield, doesn't seem to appear in records that year.
In 1875, Sarah C Hayden resided4707 with her parents, several of her siblings, and her daughter Nellie V Scofield. In 1880, Sarah C Hayden resided1866 with her mother and several of her siblings. Her marital status was "D" (divorced) and Nellie V Scofield, Sarah's daughter and grandchild of Mary Hayden, resided with them.
