**Variant spelling of her first and last names not uncommon.
Death could have occurred between 27 October 1837, the date 
that she wrote her will and and the date of the February 1842 Term
of Court.  More than likely, she died between the day after the date
of the November 1841 Term of Court and the day before the 
February 1842 Term of Court.
