There were perhaps two listings for Sarah in the 1880 census:

Percy Niblo (age 18) lived with them [William Niblo was named in a deed dated 1885.]. Sarah A Ivey's parents were both born in Georgia. [35]
1900 Sarah Ivey (born in Georgia in Jan 1844, widowed), mother, lived in Paola, Orange County, Florida, in a household with [son] George B Ivey (28). Sarah Ivey's parents were both born in Georgia. [36]
1900 Son Samuel Ivey (born in Florida in Jul 1867, married for 8 years) lived in Pensacola, Escambia County, Florida, in a household with Carrie H Ivey (23), Merta Ivey (7) [perhaps named after his deceased sister], Jesse Ivey (2), and Floyd Ivey (6/12). Samuel Ivey's father was born in Alabama and his mother was born in Georgia. Sanial Ivey was a tinner copper smith [same profession as in the 1885 census]. [37]
1910 Sarah A Ivey (age 68, born in Georgia, widowed), mother, lived in Precinct 37, Hillsborough County, Florida, in a household with Samuel P Ivey (42), Myrtle Ivey (15), Jessie E Ivey (12), and Lulan Smith (28).

1918 Son Samuel B Ivey died on October 2 at Pensacola, Escambia County, Florida and was buried at Saint John's Cemetery, Pensacola, Escambia County, Florida. [41] [42]
Several researchers name John B Ivey (1844, Alabama - 1904, Orange, Florida) as the spouse of Sarah. Did John leave Sarah before 1880 and she self-reported as a widow after then? John B reportedly had other children over-lapping with the children of Sarah. We suspect that John B Ivey was a different person than the husband of Sarah.
