Although Elizabeth's gravestone says that she was born in 1840, that date is inconsistent with other records. US Census enumerations put her date of birth nearly a decade earlier (1860 Census, b. ca. 1831; 1870 Census, b. ca. 1835; 1880 Census, b. ca. 1832.)
Three separate sources related to Matthew Tucker (Georgia Marriages, 1699-1944 + Georgia Marriages, 1851-1900 + Family Data Collection-Individual Records) state that he married Elizabeth "Betsey" Gay on 25 March 1852. A DOB of 1840 would mean that Betsey married at age 12, which seems unlikely.
