In the 1870 census it has Daniel Acy, age 24; and Sarah E., age 27, are residing at Red Bank, Shrewbury Twp., New Jersey (post office - Eatontown). The following children are with them: John A., age 11; Joseph V, age 4. Daniel is a brick mason. They were all born in New Jersey.
I found where Daniel V. Asay married Sarah E. Ashmore 3 Mar 1869.
In the 1800 census it has Daniel V. Asay, age 33, and his wife Sarah E. age 36, are residing in Upper Freehold, Monmouth, New Jersey. The following daughters are with them: Amanda L., age 9; Laura J., age 7; Mary E., age 5; Susie, age 2. They were all born in New Jersey as were their parents.
Do you think his first and second wife were both named Sarah E.
