WGFA:

pg 139: "Milly Grinstead b. 12/16/1831 died at an early age."

COMMENT about WGFA:

Milley is buried in the same cemetery as her parents. Her tombstone has a death date and an age. The age in years looks vaguely like '13'. If it is '11', then the death date of 13 Aug 1843 and her age of 11 years 7 months 27 days yields the birth date of 16 Dec 1831 in WGFA. If it is '10', then the birth date is 16 Dec 1832, which is at Find-a-Grave.

It is strange that WGFA privides an exact birth date but no death date since the date on the tombstone is the death date. The date in WGFA might have come from another source.
