Maria has several incorrect birth and death dates that were recorded incorrectly when she was an adult and moved to different parishes. She was actually born 6 Dec 1844 at Stenbro torp, Stenslanda, Tävelsås, Kronoberg, Sverige. Her birth date is sometimes recorded incorrectly as 5 of December, but the priest's 5/12 (5th of December) has wrongly been translated to 12th of March, believing the 5 to be a 3 as in March, which is probably how it ended up wrong on her headstone. Her birth date is also recorded incorrectly in the church cemetery directory, which shows 3-12-1844, but she was born 6 Dec 1844 according to the Swedish Archives.
The year of death is also incorrect on Maria's headstone. It reads 1891, but should be 1897. The county recorder's office lists her age at death as 52 years, 3 months, and 28 days. The church directory is incorrect showing 1921 as the year of death.
