They do not give family member names, but you can figure out how many children, ages, etc. The 1810 census for Readfield, Kennebec shows Aaron White age 16-25, a female (his wife) age 26-44, and four females age 0-10. This supports the 1774 birth date from Sarah's headstone, and says Aaron was at least 11 years younger than her (born 1785 ). In 1820, Aaron White appears in the Vassalboro, Kennebec census. He and his wife are both in the 26-45 columns. There is one male age 0-10, two females 0-10, and four females 10-16. There is also a Samuel White family of similar age listed right after Aaron White -- a brother? Also four Smart families listed close to the White listings, so Sarah may have been from one of these. The 1830 Vassalborough census has Aaron White and his wife listed in the age 40-50 columns (she should have been 50-60). There are two males 10-15, one male 15-20, four females 15-20 and one female 20-30. The three males between 10-20 is puzzling since there was only one listed 10 years earlier in the 0-10 column. The 1840 Vassalborough census shows Aaron White age 50-60, his wife 60-70, one male 10-15, one female 10-15, and one female 20-30. The 1850 Vassalboro census taken August 16 shows Aaron White, age 65 (confirms 1785 birth date) living with Mary White, age 49 and no children. Since you have an 1846 date of death for Sarah, it appears that he remarried before 1850. Levi Smart, age 69, is the listing right after Aaron White. You may want to focus on him as a possible brother of Sarah. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
