      Donna Forney Clark: HARRIETTE ELIZABETH "HATTIE" DISERT FORNEY'S AGE:
      Harriet Elizabeth Disert was listed as one year old in the 1850 census which would make her 16 years older than her husband. Family stories said Harriet Disert Forney was many years older than her husband. All censuses relating to Harriette Elizabeth "Hattie" Disert Forney are problematic, since even though she starts out as several years older than her husband, census by census, she grows younger and younger until finally in 1930 (listed in PART TWO, below, she and her husband are the same age).
