Listed in the 1850 & 1860 census in the household with her father and housekeeper.
The info in Sophie's obituary that she was raised by her aunt, seems to be incorrect. Sophie's aunt may have helped when she was younger, but from all records, Sophie was always in the home of her father John Summers Kendrick/Kindrick, and her aunt was not listed in the household.
The birthdate is incorrect in Sophie Ann Kendrick Alcorn's obit. Sophie's mother died during childbirth or soon after giving birth to Sophie, and that was in 1841...
The death certificate lists Sophie Kendrick Alcorn's birth date as May 1842, which is incorrect, her mother's grave marker gives her death date as June 1841. And Sophie (Kendrick) Alcorn's stone has her birth as 1841. In checking the census, I believe her correct birth date to be May 1841.
