Unknown (female) Quinn, MO d. 1878

My great-grandmother, Ellen Bess Quinn (nicknamed Nellie) is from a family of 7 or 8 children, all but the oldest born in St. Joseph, MO between 1843 and 1852. One of the boys names was John Quinn, he was the youngest. Their parents, James William Quinn and Annie Sarah Young, died about 1856, possibly of diptheria. The children have been found scattered through-out different census's. I wonder if your unknown is Sarah, who was found living with her sister Nellie (Ellen - my ggrandmother) and her husband Giles Fish on the 1870 St. Joseph census, however, can find no further evidence of her.
