Biography

She lists "keeping house" in the census as her occupation, married to John Blood (who listed his occupation as a "shoemaker) and they live in Albany. 

FMS calls her "Miss Blood" in her letter to LMW, should have referred to her as Mrs Blood because she was married and her maiden name was Vallance, however the clues seem to match up so FMS probably mistakenly referred to her as "Miss".

Letter References

Letter from Frances Miller Seward to Lazette Miller Worden, December 25, 1831

Citation Notes: 
We can narrow down her birth year because she listed her age as "46" in the 1850 census. http://interactive.ancestrylibrary.com/8054/4196760-00488/12309871?backurl=http://person.ancestrylibrary.com/tree/59326025/person/40044920845/facts/citation/260784232895/edit/record However, she put down "63" in the 1870 census, so that would make her birth year 1807. http://interactive.ancestrylibrary.com/7163/4275089_00227?pid=27944462&backurl=http://search.ancestrylibrary.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?_phsrc%3Diyx127%26_phstart%3DsuccessSource%26usePUBJs%3Dtrue%26gss%3Dangs-c%26new%3D1%26rank%3D1%26msT%3D1%26gsfn%3DSarah%26gsfn_x%3D0%26gsln%3DBlood%26gsln_x%3D0%26msbdy%3D1804%26msbdy_x%3D1%26msbdp%3D10%26msrpn__ftp%3DAlbany,%2520Albany,%2520New%2520York,%2520USA%26msrpn%3D10034%26msrpn_PInfo%3D8-%257C0%257C1652393%257C0%257C2%257C0%257C35%257C0%257C128%257C10034%257C0%257C0%257C%26msrpn_x%3D1%26msrpn__ftp_x%3D1%26_83004003-n_xcl%3Dm%26MSAV%3D1%26uidh%3Dif4%26pcat%3D35%26h%3D27944462%26dbid%3D7163%26indiv%3D1%26ml_rpos%3D1&treeid=&personid=&hintid=&usePUB=true&_phsrc=iyx127&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true

Citation Notes: 
Find a Grave lists Oct 1, 1879 as her death date, but there is no image of the tomb stone so I can't verify it. However, her last entry is in the 1870 census so we know she died after 1870 http://search.ancestrylibrary.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?_phsrc=iyx128&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true&gss=angs-c&new=1&rank=1&msT=1&gsfn=Sarah&gsfn_x=0&gsln=Blood&gsln_x=0&msbdy=1804&msbdy_x=1&msbdp=10&msrpn__ftp=Albany,%20Albany,%20New%20York,%20USA&msrpn=10034&msrpn_PInfo=8-%7C0%7C1652393%7C0%7C2%7C0%7C35%7C0%7C128%7C10034%7C0%7C0%7C&msrpn_x=1&msrpn__ftp_x=1&_83004003-n_xcl=m&MSAV=1&uidh=if4&pcat=35&h=27944462&dbid=7163&indiv=1&ml_rpos=1
