Elizabeth's headstone inscription, which appears to have been restored, records she was born 9 May 1803. She was most likely born before then, as it is the same as her baptism date:
Elizabeth Dorne, baptized 9 May 1803, parents Jeremiah Dorn, Elizabeth Kernkross, Dutch Reformed Church Of Caughnawaga*, Fonda, Montgomery, New York, USA, from image posted on ancestry.com
Discrepancies in death date:
1) Headstone inscription – Elizabeth Stewart ... Died June 6, 1901
2) New York State Record – Elizabeth Stewart, died 10 June 1900, Johnstown, New York U.S. Death Index, ancestry.com
The New York state record is incorrect because Elizabeth was recorded on the 1900 census (enumerated 3 July 1900) living with her son William D. Stewart and other family members in Johnstown, New York.
*The towns of Amsterdam, Broadalbin, Johnstown and Mayfield were created from Caughnawaga in 1793.
