Her brother John B. Leinbach died 1893, was an insurance salesman married Mary Dunkel and stayed in Delaware Township Northumberland County, Penn they had 10 Children.

I suspect the reason Sarah age 26 and her family left Pennsylvania was to try to get away from the Typhoid outbreak of 1846 and the grief over all the deaths in the family.
