Jackson Ledger @ HCPD mentions "Mr. Flesher" on pg 22. Larry Flesher says Catherine's father William died in 1817. Ms. Barker says that his child Catherine was born in 1825. Matella P. Doughman also says that Catherine was born in 1825 and that she doesn't know where Willliam Flesher lived after his wife Lucinda died. So some data is in error here; probably the date and location of William Flesher's death.

10 Dec 1842 Joseph Higgins & Catherine Flesher by Elizabeth Stanberry his mother by Lucinda Flesher her mother. Wit: Andrew Jackson Source: Ellen Van Houten & Florence Cole, Warren County Ohio Marriage Consents 1803 - 1903, (Cardinal Research, Loveland, Ohio, 1988), page 101.

This would suggest that Catherine was under 18 and that Joseph Higgins was under 21. Catherine’s tombstone at Wesley Chapel would put her date of birth at about 9 Nov 1825
