Discrepancy re date of birth: Information at RootsWeb/WorldConnect says she was born 9 April 1858 (and lists her middle name as "Ann"). Her delayed birth certificate (see image) says she was born 19 April 1858 (and lists her middle name as "Anna"). The 1900 Federal Census says she was born April 1857. Seemingly inexplicably, the grave marker says she was born 1864.
