  • Name Elizabeth McKinney TUCKER 
    Born 21 Oct 1828  Surry County, North Carolina Find all individuals with events at this location  [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
    • 1830 census: one of 2 females under 5 (1826 to 1830)
      1840 census: one of 2 females aged 10-14 (1826 to 1830)

      1860 census: age 27 (abt 1833)
      1870 census: age 42 (abt 1828), NC

      1900 census: age 71 - stated Oct 1828
      headstone: 21 Oct 1828

      Given the fact that Elizabeth lived alone in 1900, I think it is virtually certain that she provided the census information. That she stated Oct 1828 as her birth year provides credible confirmation to the 21 Oct 1828 date engraved on her headstone.
