We have a contradiction in her birth date, since her brother Anderson Crenshaw's family bible has her birth date as July 12, 1800. Whether Anderson or his wife Mary Chiles wrote that date from memory or personal knowledge isn't known. Either Phebe's tombstone was inscribed incorrectly (something known to happen), or the bible entry was made from a faulty memory (also something known to happen).
