General Notes
- Sarah was born at Rhode Island, and for many years was brought up by uncle and aunt Dennis and Susanna Leach.
  
  Sarah married Edward Creighton of Scottish descent in 1882 (had been married 18 years in 1900).
  
  The 1900 census is a bit odd. Sarah was aged 46, yet had been in the US for 50 years.
  
  There was come confusion as to where Sarah was born. On the 1923 death record her mother is shows correctly as Sarah Smith, but the father Isaac Creighton, her merried name (not Isaac Mather). The 1900 census shows birthplace as Ireland, but should be Rhode Island.
  
  In 1894, Dennis Leache's estate was left to his daughter Elizabeth Manning and Sarah Alice Leighton, wife of Edward Creighton, so Sarah's middle name is Alice!

Social & Emotional Relationships
- Sarah lived with Dennis Leach.
