Her marker is inscribed 1862 for a date of death with an age of 65 years, which cannot be correct. There is a complete record of birth for her and her nine siblings from a family bible and she was the second born on September 26, 1786. In the 1850 census enumeration she was age 63, which would agree with her known date of birth of 1786. On the 1860 federal census she was age 74, which would agree with her known date of birth of 1786. Her marker should have been inscribed with an age of 75.
