Sarah appears to have died, Mathias appears to have remarried, and Sarah's sister, Nancy Lear, is no longer part of the household.

I suspect the younger James may have been a child of Mathias' presumed second wife, given he already had a son named James.

Mathias married Sarah LEAR, daughter of Rev. James LEAR and Sarah HAMILTON, on 11 Dec 1845 in Brown County, Indiana.¹ (Sarah LEAR was born about 1815 in Wayne County, Kentucky ² and died in 1860-1870 in Morgan County, Indiana ^{3 4}.)
