Death
The Sarah Tice who died 15 November 1875 in Bainbridge, Berrien, Michigan, was the daughter of Norman Ivory and Polly, and was born 1805 in New York.https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N36Y-Z4J

This can only be our Sarah Ivory if we assume that the informant did not know her family. The only Norman Ivory was Sarah's brother. There was no Polly or Mary at all.
Our Sarah Ivory, wife of Martin Tice of New Jersey, was born in New York about 1803, as shown in the census of 1860 and 1870.
Find-a-Grave states she died 29 Nov 1875, but there is no tombstone photo.
