The cemetery transcription book has 1853 listed as her birth year. With the other records found her birth year should be 1857 or 1858. The 1870 census was taken July 1870 so she would have already had her birth day that year putting her birth year as 1858. Her marriage record lists her as age 16 in March of 1875. With a birth month of May she would turned 17 that month putting her birth year as 1858. Stone is probably hard to read and they thought the 8 was a 3?

Mentioned in her father's Will are grandchild of his, Minnie M Nunn and Sam W Nunn. They are living with him on the 1880 census. I believe those are Mattie's children.
