Find a Grave memorial 32959338 shows the headstone inscription stating that Maria died aged 57 in October 1858, consistent with birth in 1800–1801. A transcription of the archived Glass Family Bible page cited on WikiTree instead gives 1 January 1802 and baptism on 20 November 1802. The live profile now preserves and explains this conflict; the Bible image should be rechecked before treating either year as certain.
