1865-1866 -- the 1870 census (age 4).
1865-1866 -- the 1880 census (age 14).
2 May 1867 -- The Heritage of Rockingham County.
2 May 1867 -- the grave marker.
10 Nov 1867 -- Kristina Turner, from Branson Angel.
1867-1868 -- the marriage record (age 19 in 1887).
I know that the census is not a reliable source for ages, but I always
find it compelling when two in a row agree for anyone, especially a
girl. It helps counter the age-old problem of women fibbing about
their age. Something to think about....
