Sarah’s death certificate indicates she was born 3-7-1841 but her tombstone says 1-11-1838. Her age at marriage (19) indicates a birth year of 1840. Her age in the 1880 census supports a year of 1838. Her age in 1900 supports a year of 1839. Her age in all other years support a year of 1840. It’s odd that both Peter and Sarah would be born January 11. This may reflect confusion of the two by the informants.
