Saphronia's tombstone is not inscribed with her birth date, but with her death date and age at that time. Calculating her birth date from her age at death, she was born in March 1841.
However, the original memorial compiler had "March 1837" as Saphronia's birth date. I don't know any source for that specific date. In censuses, Saphronia was 9 in 1850, 26 in 1860, 29 in 1870, and 39 in 1880.
