We believe that her birthdate (1846) is incorrect. This date. also listed on her death certificate, was supplied by Tom Moore. The 1900 census has her birthdate as 1853. This census was four years before Ida's marriage with Moore and we believe that both Ida and her mother, Nancy, "trimmed" a few years off of their ages for the benefit of Moore. Ida was a single mother with two sons when she met Moore.
