Biography
Birthdate estimated from Tombstone
Research at the New England Genealogical Society using books on the Flower family lead to a supposition about her birthplace.
US Census for 1820 shows a William Flower family living at next to the Stewarts in Delhi, NY. They are the only Flower family listed there. A man by the name of Phineas Flower (who could be the son of William Flower as he has the same name as one of his verified children) is noted as attending the Golden Wedding Party in 1869.
