I think whoever read this stone could not read it very well, because it was so old and worn. I believe that Jane was more like 46 yrs 5 mos 26 days making her birth Oct 17, 1802. In 1840 the female in the home was between 30-39 yrs of age making her birth btw 1801-1810.
I don't know how anyone would get an 8 from a 4 but can see how you would think a 6 was a nine. No matter she was not 89 yrs when she died. (N J Martin 46810101)
