I believe that the information transcribed in Madison Co IN library is incorrect and that Mariah died May 2, 1844 not March. This is because her son James Haven Reger's tombstone and 1900 census state he was born April 4, 1844. She could not have died one month before he was born. The only other possiblity is that the 1900 census and James' tombstone is incorrect and the person who gave the info thought he was born in 1844 and not 1843 per info in Madison Co IN.
