    TURNER, Nancy, d. of Luther and Nabby, [born] Sept. 27, 1800.
    [Note: It's not critical, as this child died young, but the age at death suggests something might have been misrecorded. The coincidence of dying on one's exact birthday being unlikely, one assumes it is one of the dates that is wrong, and there is no reason why any month amount should be present if it was so. So barring multiple errors, since 27 Sep 1800 would not allow a child to attain the age of 2 y. and 7 m. in 1802, it looks like the birthdate is wrong, and should have been sometime in February 1800.]
