Events

Event	Date	Place	Sources
Birth	about 1814		1a
	Event Note Alices' death record said she was 76 when she died, or born in 1812, but I don't think she was. Her daughter Margaret was born about 1862 or 1863, which would make Alice 50 at the birth of her last child. Margaret's age is pretty consistent throughout her US records, and the Irish death ages are usually just guesses. Her tombstone says Alice was 74 when she died.		1a
