  • Notes: 

  • Most sources list Barbara's death date as 18 JUN 1834. However a transcription of the internment records for Mount Olivet Cemetery in Baltimore state that Barbara was buried 18 JUN 1824. There is a date on her tombstone where 18 JUN is clearly seen as the day and month of her death, but the year is unreadable in photos. Further investigation is needed.
