The years 1832, 1836, and 1840 were leap years but 1838 was not a leap year. EITHER the year on the headstone is wrong, or the date or both. Assuming the year is correct and the date is almost correct, Juda Ann Smith was born either 28 Feb 1838 or 1 Mar 1838. (Many thanks to Wes for pointing this out.)
The date on this memorial will be left as 29 Feb 1838 per the headstone pic, provided by Denise, until documentation with the corrected date is found!!
