NOTE: Three census records each give a different place of birth, and her age is not consistant. Year of birth stamped into curbing is 1828 - but none of the census ages match up with that date. 1831, which is given on her death certificate more closely matches up with ages given in both the 1880 and 1900 census records, but for the purposes of this database I will use the date given in the 1900 census, as she was presumably there, and most likely to give the most accurate date for the 1900 census, which asked for month and year.
