The census records attached to the profile have her birth year as 1856 or 1857, which would mean her suggested father was alive at the time of her birth.
If she was born in 1861 per findagrave, her suggested father had been dead for more than nine months at the time of her birth.
see mother’s profile and 1880 census, think birth date on gravestone is wrong.
