Notes

Despite there being a specific date on Susan Lugenia (née Norman) Monk's gravestone (12 Mar 1855), it is extremely unlikely that date is correct, and her exact birth date is possibly unknown. Even her obituary states she was “about 56” when she died on 14 March 1905. If that age (56) is to be believed, it would place her birth year in 1848 or 1849. However, that would be too early since she was not enumerated on the 1850 US Federal Census, which implies she was born after 01 Jun 1850 (the “census date” in 1850). Now, in the 1860 and 1870 censuses, while she still lived at home, she is consistently enumerated as the fourth-oldest child, placed between Julia (b. 1848) and Jeremiah (b. 1852). Susan was possibly born in late 1850 based on the rate of childbirth in this family. Even so, if one assumes that March 12th is her correct birth month and date, then it is entirely plausible that she was born on 12 Mar 1851, which would still allow enough time for her next sibling, brother Jeremiah, to be born on 04 Mar 1852.
