Birth:
The 1900 Federal Census clearly shows her birth as Feb 1846, but that would make her 7 yo when married. Not impossible in those days but highly improbable. More likely she was born in 1837, making her 17.
There is also some confusion about her name. Some records show her as Mary Lambert Puffer, although no supporting records can be found.Children:
