There is a Catherine Sale listed in the 1881 French census for Kangallon, Trégunc, Finistère, as a domestic, age 41. There is another listed in the 1881 French census for Thuir, Pyrénées-Orientales, as the wife of Eotienne Fabresse, age 41 with children Magdeleine (age 15), Catherine (13), Etienne (10) and Tuus (3). Either of these could explain why there seems to be no tracre of her in the U.S. other than the 1850 U.S. census for Trumbull, Ct.
