Jim, I have 1856 as her birth year in Lincolville, Maine, based on her age of 52 on her death certificate. Her birthdate does not appear on the death certificate, just her age at time of death, and place of birth.
It's also interesting to note that her first husband James Armstrong was related to the Armstrongs and Weldons on New Brunswick. His father was Thomas Armstrong from New Brunswick who fought in the US Civil war. His Mother was Eliza Weldon a daughter of Amasa Weldon and Sarah Lamb of New Brunswick. Amasa a brother to Andrew who married Jane Chapman d/o William Chapman and Mary Sackville Dixon..
