Note: The birth date is from trees on Ancestry.com, but I cannot find any documentation for the date. The U.S. Census are quite inconsistent as to her birth year: 1850 Census gives abt. 1815; 1860 Census shows 1825, 1870 Census indicates 1822; and 1880 Census give birth year as about 1818 and her age as 62. The obituary states she died at age 64, which would make her birth year as about 1816.
