Agaline was born 13 September 1811 in Lincoln County, North Carolina, and died 4 January 1877 in Catawba County, North Carolina.
A 1987-1988 canvas of the cemetery reported Agaline's age inscription as "65y 3m 21d."[2] Deducting Agaline's inscribed birth date from her inscribed death date indicates she would have been age 65 years, 3 months and 24 days at death. She was age 59 on the 1870 census, supporting she was age 65 at death. Agaline's 1840-1870 census enumerations consistently support an 1811 birth year.
Christopher Sigman executed his Lincoln County, North Carolina, will 17 January 1839 in which he stated he had four daughters named [1] Polly, [2] Raghenah, [3] Katharine, and [4] Agaline. He bequeathed each daughter a bed and bedstead along with an equal share in proceeds from the sale of his personal property.[3]
