I believe cemetery records are in error as to date of birth. Census records are inconsistent as to her age at census time, but in 1880 she is 29 years of age (b. about 1851), and her oldest child is 13 years of age. Family history says she got pregnant (unmarried) at age 15, and married the father John Mickle, which would fit with the 1880 census data.
