Sterling, Ky.
The reported birthdate is off by at least five years. She was recorded as age 10 in the 1880 census, and the 1900 census reported her birth date as May 1872. She is either the same child as Elizabeth age 1 month in the 1870 census (which would fit with a birth date in May 1870 and match her age in 1880), or else she was born in 1871 or 1872, and the reported age of 10 in the 1880 census is too high.
