Peggy Clark - Miracle child born 7 years after mother's death!

Question

Mary Margaret "Peggy" Clark Payne was born about 1797, but her mother, Elianore Ann (Lilly) Clark, supposedly died November 18, 1790.  Was Peggy's date of birth listed incorrectly?  Was Elianore's date of death listed incorrectly? Or is the parent-child relationship incorrect?  The only source listed on both profiles is a tree on Ancestry.com, and this information seems "shaky" (pun intended).  Can anyone provide more solid information and sources?

Comments

Thanks, Chris. This agrees with what is posted in Peggy Clark's profile, so there is still no explanation of how she was born 7 years after her mother's death.
