Notes for Nancy Jane Perry
Her gravestone gives her date of birth as April 5, 1847, but the 1850 census (house visited in early September, official census date June 1) recorded her as age 10 months, and 1900 census said she was born in Sep 1849, which would be roughly consistent with the 1850 age, within a couple months.
