1850 United States Federal Census

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The image shows Sarah, 42, born NY, in the household of Elias Bentley (172) in Sandy Creek, Oswego County. A age of 42 on 1 June 1850 is consistent with a birth on 2 September 1808 (she would be 41 by strict calculation, so the enumerator may have been off by one year, which is acceptable). The record does not state the exact date or the specific town of birth.
Matches: Household 172 in Sandy Creek, Oswego, NY lists Elias Bentley (44, farmer, b. NY) with Sarah, age 42, female, b. NY; Sarah's age of 42 implies a birth around 1807-1808, which fits the claimed 1808 date; Birthplace given as NY, which fits a birth in Stillwater, Saratoga County, New York; Citation detail (Sandy Creek, Oswego, NY) matches the image header
Limits: A census gives an age, not a birth date, so it cannot confirm 2 September 1808; Birthplace is only the state (NY); it cannot confirm Stillwater, Saratoga County; The 1850 census does not give relationships; Sarah is presumably Elias's wife, but this is not stated; Handwriting for Sarah's age is slightly hard to read (appears as 42); the entry could be 42 or 43, but either is close to 1808; The enumeration date was recorded as 24 Sept 1850, but the census reference date was 1 June 1850, so the implied birth year could be 1807 or 1808
