↑ Both the death record and the 1900 federal census give the birth as Aug 1846. However, Source: Allred, Marilyn. Town of Warwick, Franklin County, Massachusetts, Genealogical Records 1739-1900, Births, Marriages, gives 29 Aug 1847. This seems to come from town records cited above, and likewise, other records from early in her life seem to consistently support 1847 as the correct year:
In 1850 federal census, 23 Sep 1850, age 3, birth Aug 1847.
In 1855 State Census, 1 Sep 1855, age 8, birth Aug 1847.
In 1860 federal census, 24 Jul 1860, age 12, birth Aug 1847.
In 1865 State Census, 14 Jun 1865, age 17, birth Aug 1847.
