1814-Birth year; 1862-Death year.

Her gravestone indicates that she died at the age of "48 ys 4 ms 25 ds." It is believed that her age was calculated in error on the gravestone, because if she died in February 1862, that would have put her date of birth as 5 October 1813, not 1814. Her parents were married in December 1813, so she was most likely born in 1814, and her age at death was probably 47 years.
