The date of Jan. 4, 1895 on her grave marker is the date of her death and not that of her birth, however. I don't have actual documentation of that date for her death, but her will (Mrs. S. M. James Will, found in Ancestry.com; Tennessee, Wills and Probate Records, 1779-2008 database) was probated 31 Jan 1895 in Maury County, Tennessee.
Besides, if she was really born in 1895 she would have made an extremely young first wife for Joseph H. James. :) From census records, it seems she was born about 1823 in New York state, with her parents being Sarah Beach and Charles Genet (later spelled "Gennet"), who resided in Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, New York much of their lives. The Find A Grave memorials for her parents are: # 140421439 and # 140421404, respectively.
Joseph H. James and Sarah Marie Gennet were married 13 Dec 1848 at Richmond, Virginia. Joseph H. James was born in Virginia.
