Height: 5 feet 8 inches.

!NOTES:Marty Grant's 3rd Great Grand Aunt.;

!NOTES:B/D 11 Feb 1823 per Tombstone, but the year doesn't match her census records which show 1825, so I'm going with Jan 1825 which is what was listed on the 1900 census, information presumably given to the census taker by her, so therefore should be accurate.;

!NOTES:Maiden name WINFREY proven by D/C of son Millard & daughter Lillie;

!NOTES:Not a proven child of Caleb Winfrey & Arabella Moody but it seems 100% likely they are her parents. She lived right next to them and there were no other Winfreys around for many miles who could be her parents instead.;
