Note (2) Age 27y 5m in death record would put her birth date in Apr 1850. But age 37y 5m 14d on headstone calculates to a birth date of Apr 15 1840. In both cases, the date of death is shown as Sep 29 1877. Death record shows her birthplace as Maryland. Some researchers have reported a birth date of Apr 15 1824.Name Index
