     As of 7 March 1859,her married name was Ozmur.⁴ Comment by DGB: Sometime between the birth of daughter Ella Jane Ozmur and Sarah's marriage to Andrew Jackson Vincent (both events in 1860), daughter Ella was put in the care of Jonathan and Mary Harvey and apparently was adopted by them. It is not clear whether this was intentional or not, as the initial care of baby Ella would likely have happened in CA while Sarah dealt with the death of her husband linkely in Oregon. By 1870 the Harveys were living in Idaho City ID and Ella was on the census as their daughter. On the 1880 census Ella is listed as an adopted daughter, but still living with the Harvey family. It is only on Ella's death record that her birth parents are confirmed. End of comment. As of 6 September 1860,her married name was Vincent.⁴ As of 12 November 1882,her married name was Jones.⁴      Photo courtesy of Michelle Ballou.⁷
