The birth date on Mary's headstone is Oct 25, 1806. The date on the Cenotaph memorial at Bookwalter Cemetery gives Mary's birth date as Apr 10, 1799.

The 1850 Knox County, TN census gives Mary's age as 43, indicating she was born about 1807.
The 1860 Knox County, TN census gives Mary's age as 53, indicating she was born about 1807.
The 1870 Knox County, TN census gives Mary's age as 63, indicating she was born about 1807.

Those three census records give Mary's husband Samuel York's age as 50, 60 and 70 years, which sounds correct since it is said he was born in 1799.

This Cenotaph memorial and what is remaining of the tombstones from the now destroyed Callahan Cemetery are located at the Bookwalter United Methodist Church Cemetery on Central Avenue, Knoxville, Knox County, Tennessee.Wife of Samuel York
