The birthdate of 1 August 1871 is an informed estimate. No reliable record of her birth has been found as of April 2021. The record created closest to her birth is her entry in the 1880 census, where her age is clearly given as 9. If correct, this means she was born about 1871. Her marriage record (1911) gives her age as 28, meaning she would have been born about 1883, and her death record gives her date of birth as 1 August 1874. Other records give only her age, and usually suggest a birth date from 1872 to 1875.
Her place of birth is given as Wachville, Virginia in an abstract of her death record, and as Wichville, Virginia in another abstract, but no such town exists in Virginia. She was almost certainly born in Wytheville, Wythe County, Virginia. The town's name is pronouned "Withville," and her father lived there until at least 1858.
