Ann Murray's will was proved in Amelia Co., VA, on 24 Apr 1800 - just over 5 months before her alleged death date of 29 Sep 1800. The FindAGrave memorial for her doesn't have a source, nor tombstone photo. Since she wrote her will on 29 Sep (of 1797), and, apparently, died in 1800, perhaps someone mistakenly "created" an erroneous death date of 29 Sep 1800.
