The date of death is either 18 Aug 1812 or 18 Aug 1842. Had she been born in 1783, she would have died in 1822, not in 1812 or 1842. Albertus

Nota bene: Given that the Nicholas Vincent of this profile died in 1818, the Nicholas Vincent in the 1820 Census must be another person, perhaps a son or nephew. The other possibility is that Nicholas Vincent of this profile did not die in 1818 as recorded by the three sources provided for his date of death. Albertus
