  5. [S16] Although Elizabeth's husband reported her birthdate as Jan. 11, 1846 on her death certificate, this date is not consistent with her age on the 1850 census (1) or her reported month and year of birth on the 1900 census (Jan. 1849). Therefore I am assuming John Barker reported the year of Elizabeth's birth incorrectly.
