In the 1850 census Sarah was seven years old. Her father was 40 years old and working as a farmer in Miami Township, Clermont County, Ohio. His household included five children and a 19-year-old woman named Mary A Craft.[1]

In the 1861 census, Sarah was 19 years old and living in Kent, Ontario, with her 26-year-old husband Enoch Stump. The census notes that they were married that year. Sarah was listed as "mulatto" and Enoch was listed as "colored."[2]
In the 1880 census, Sarah J Stump was 37 years old and living in Ypsilanti, Washtenaw County, Michigan, with her husband and four sons: William (age 19), Samuel J (age 17), Adolphus (age 11) and Rufus (age 8). They were all listed as "mulatto."[3]
Sarah J (Waterford) Stump died at some point before her father's death in March 1893. William Waterford's estate record listed "children of deceased daughter Sarah Stump" — Rufus, Adolphus, Samuel, and Walter — among his heirs. They were living in Lima, Ohio, at that time.[4]
