New York, N.Y., July 18, 1831; some sources give her year of birth as 1836, 1837 or 1838, most likely based on incorrect age as recorded in U.S. Fed. censuses from 1860-1910, as well as incorrect age at death given in obituaries; however, DAB, family genealogical records and her gravestone all have 1831, which is supported by the 1850 U.S. Fed. Census where her age is stated as 19 and indicates a year of birth of 1830 or 1831) |
