[Going by the birth date on the headstone, one would think that there was a typographical error in the paper and hopefully not on the headstone...]
[Mary's birth date has been changed from 1796 to 1793 due to the confusion of dates caused by the headstone and newspaper, plus the birth date of sister Eliza. I would love to see birth certificates to clear everything up.]
Thanks to P Fazzini for the link to Mary's mother.
