Find-a-Grave notes for Maria (Spouse 1)
Maria is on find-a-grave. Her birth date there is stated as 10 May 1808 and I have submitted an edit to fix it to 10 Mar 1808 in accordance with the photo there of her tombstone.
Even so, her brother David’s tombstone, calculating his date of birth from his date of death and age as given on his tombstone says he was born 8 Nov 1808 — though no photo of his tombstone is present so I can’t really verify that is what it says.
