Again thanks @genstack.bsky.social for the 31-day female ancestor challenge. I have work to do.
On FamilySearch, the parents married abt 1853, but they are married on the 1850 census. On FS their son was born in 1854 which matches the gravestone, but early census records put his birth abt 1851.

Look out for a brand new #Blog tomorrow called ‘Touching The Past’ exploring how the history that surrounds us connects us to the past
“history is about people. It’s about how and where they lived, the challenges they faced, the triumphs they celebrated, and the legacies they left behind.”
