  Our transcription of her year of death as 1854 matches the dates written in B F Washburns family information book, called a "Sample book," provided by Paddi Keller.
  
  ------------------
  This is data I found from my grandfather's Sample book
  
  Benjamin Franklin Washburn b. 11/22/1806 d. 3/5/1863
  sp. Delphia Philbeck b. 12/10/1808 m. 11/6/1825 d. 4/25/1854

  ------------------
  
  The grave transcription on Find a Grave differs from this information, reporting the year of death as 1851.  Additionally the year of death on the FAG transcription is 1806, obtained apparently by subtracting the peerceived year of death and subtracting the 45 years of her reported age on the stone.
  
  Using the date of death reported by the sample book above, the year of birth would be 1808 for a birth in December.  Thus we are using the years of birth and death reported in the family information submitted by Paddi Keller.
