- ^ Many sources, including her gravestone and her 1923 passport application, give 1876 as her year of birth. However, 1874 is the year given in her application for Social Security, and that matches her age in the federal censuses in 1880, 1910, and 1940. The 1900 census gives her birthdate as December 1875. The 1930 federal census gives her age as 51, indicating a later birthdate; and the 1935 Florida state census gives her age as 54, indicating an even later date.
