Leah Josephine Southard-235 and Josephine Southard-233 are the same person, same parents. Leah Josephine Southard was born about 1839 even though her death certificate shows 31 Jan 1836. That appears to be the confusing factor. If you look at the rest of the data, it appears the birth date on her DC was incorrect.
in the 1850 U.S. Census, Leah J. Southard was recorded as 10-years old living with her parents and siblngs. In 1860, Josephine Dorris was recorded as 21-years old, living with her husband. In 1880, Josephine was widowed and recorded as 41-years old. In 1900, she was recorded as Jocie Dodge, age 62, and her birth date was listed as Jan 1838.
Thanks for the update.
