Bursheba was born in 1816.

Excerpt from her Find A Grave Memorial

"After the assassination of her husband by federal troops in July of 1862, Bursheba was burned out of her family home in Cass County, Missouri. Later that year three of her daughters were imprisoned in Kansas City, Missouri the building they were being held in collapsed causing the death of several females, two of which were her own nieces and the permanent injury to her own three daughters."

There is an entry on Wikipedia (of course should be researched further) that gives "Bersheba Leighton Fristoe"'s place of birth as McMinnville, Tennessee. It also gives her parents as Richard Marshall Fristoe and Mary L. Sullivan.

It also states that there were 14 children born to the family. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bersheba_Leighton_Fristoe
