She was the daughter of Gideon Luwellen Beck (1777-1860) & Sarah Sisson (1785-aft.1850). She was my husband's 4th great-great aunt.
The attached obituary posted by Evening Blues notes her age at death in 1920 of "129" year old, which seems inaccurate based on census records, etc. That would make her year of birth to be 1791, which would be impossible with her mother born in 1785. Also notes her to be married "twice"? Records could only be found of one marriage to Hyram Gayton. She had a relationship with Coleman Jefferson Davis, of which she had two children with, but records noted that they never were married. So, this obituary is very confusing.
