Biography

Last name possibly Sneed.

Nothing concrete about her is known except her first name, which is given in her husband's 1833 will^[1].

She was probably the older woman living in the household of Job Calvin or Colvin in the following censuses:

1790, 4 free white females (no age distinction), Newberry County, South Carolina.^[2]

1810, 1 free white female over 45, Hopkinsville, Christian County, Kentucky^[3]. This census implies she was born before 1765. Based on the birthdate of their eldest son John, she was probably born in the very early 1760s or the mid-late 1750s.

As she was listed in her husband's will that was written in 1832, she likely died sometime after that year.
