During the 18th century, it was not uncommon for the month of January to be abbreviated to Jan'y or Jan.y. Another reason for the January death date is that her husband remarried in June of 1792. This is documented in the marriage records of Sumner County, Tennessee. If she died in July, then William Cage would have had more than one wife, which was not an accepted practice and at times had severe repercussions for the guilty during the colonial times.
