Looking for parents of Sarah Walters born 12 Apr 1835 in Pennsylvania, possibly Armstrong County, PA but not sure of County. She died 17 Feb 1881 at Lizton, in Hendricks County, Indiana and married Reuben Scott there in 1854. I have searched the census in 1850 but do not find her listed here with any family. Since I don't know what county for sure I can't very well check the census for PA in 1850 as I would have to order each one separately to have them send it here. If anyone would be so kind as to check for me I would appreciate it.
