(6) For additional research: some sources note that she was born in 1853 in Marietta, Georgia and passed away on 5 February 1885 in Shelby Co., Alabama (daughter of William Henry Peyton Dunn (1828–1864) and Sarah Caroline Tate (1833–1876)). While those seem to fit the general narrative, I have not been able to corroborate those facts with primary sources yet.
