Sarilda is listed in the 1860 census with Adonijah's family as age 19 on the line underneath James, two lines down from Lysander. I assume the exact birth and death dates come from her tombstone, but I don't know. However, I think this Sarilda may be the same as Zarilda M. Morgan who is listed as age 22 with Lysander in the 1870 census, and the age may have been wrong in the 1870 census. The 1860 and 1870 censuses don't state the relationship to the head of household. My idea is that Lysander and Zarilda might have been married before 1860 and both living with Lysander's father Adonijah. We do know Lysander was married since he is listed as widowed in the 1880 census (which helps remove the possibility that both 1860 Sarilda and 1870 Zarilda are his sister). This is all just guesswork on my part based on the coincidence of the unique first name.
