Note (2) Marriage record indicates birth in about 1873 in Ritchie County, and age 6 in 1880 Census would put birth in about 1874. But death record states Aug 27 1870 in Taylor County. The Taylor County reference was probably intended to be Tyler County, where she and her family were in the 1880 Census. Findagrave reports birth date as Sep 27 1873 in Tyler County.
