I believe that the dates of birth and death were erroneously taken from another grave marker in the same cemetery. The grave marker for Peter Bulkley born 1745, has Miriam Peck Bulkley as the wife of DS Bulkley and lists her dates as 1801 to 1878. Further confusion is added because Peter, his wife May (Mary), daughter Phebe L and Daniel died in Connecticut. I am unsure if the bodies were sent to Rockford, Illinois after death for burial or if there are markers in Connecticut as well.
