Today's birthday research found details of Sarah B. Bolles, daughter of John N. and Sarah (Burgess) Bolles. Sarah B. would have been 175 today, being born on 4 August 1840 in Massachusetts. She was attending school in New Bedford, Bristol, Massachusetts during 23 Aug 1850, living with her parents and brothers of Abraham M., John F., Charles E., James C., Edmond H. and sister Emma F.
We skip a decade or two and find Sarah B. , married to Alfred L. Popplestone, born 1842 , in England. On 6 Jul 1870, they were living in New Bedford, with their two children, Alfred (Allie) M., born abt. 1866 and Lewis, born May 1870 both in Massachusetts. Alfred L. was a miller in New Bedford.
