This gives the exact date of 17 Feb 1805 for Elizabeth Ann's DOB, rather than just Feb 1805, as I had previously had.

Under a different spelling, WOSEN , I found this:

"Provincial Archives of New Brunswick Daniel F Johnson's New Brunswick Newspaper Vital Statistics Daniel F. Johnson : Volume 87 Number 1087

Date April 27 1892 County Saint John Place Saint John Newspaper Messenger and Visitor

d. Blissfield (North. Co.) April 5, Elizabeth A. WOSEN widow of R.B. WOSEN, age 87. Our sister was member of the Blissfield Baptist Church for over fifty years. She leaves five sons and three daughters."

Elizabeth A. Wosen (aka Wasson) died on 5 April 1892. at age 87. 1892-87= 1805 for approx year of birth. The dates, even the month of death, coincide perfectly, as do the initials of the husband, and the location, even her first name and middle initial match perfectly. I will add the 5 to the month of April. Her death date will now be known as 5 April 1892, rather than just April 1892. perhaps she was buried in Sunbury County, but death place was Northumberland co.
