Unknown-450197 and Rogers-18472 appear to represent the same person because: She is named in mother's will. Maiden name needs to be added. Clear duplicate.
The '1787' in the obituary does appear to be a typo. 1861-84=1777. Also, her mother considered her of age in 1793: 1793-16=1777, so she would not have been born any later.
