Jane (SEARCH) WATKINS is Catharine's daughter. Mary (SEARCH) GRAVES is Catharine's widowed daughter, who is fibbing about her age. Harriet STROUB is Catharine's granddaughter (d/o Samuel STROUB & Martha SEARCH). Samuel is deceased, and Martha has remarried Spencer GILL. Apparently Harriet chose to stay with her grandmother, rather than her remarried mother, who moved to Indiana.

(Calculated birthdates should always be prefaced with "ca." — you can't be certain the person who calculated their age did it correctly.)

The tombstone had to have been misread; she should have been 74 years old, not 54 (the month and day are correct).
