Are there conflicts which need to be resolved?
What about age difference for Priscilla in 1850, 1860 and 1870?
In 1860 her granduncle Joseph may not have been aware of her correct age.
In 1870 she may have wanted to be closer to William in age, as he was 32
Find a Grave gives her birthdate as 1834.01.25, which would not agree with the 1830 census.
This date is calculated by the age shown at death, which would agree with 1870 census,
so could be her changing her age.
Find a Grave gives Samuel's birthdate as 1850.07.02. But he is not listed with her in the 1850 census which was taken in October.
The official date for the 1850 census was June 1, so he should not have been shown.
It is my conclusion that these all refer to the same person, Priscilla Eakins, daughter of John Eakins and Hannah Wright, born in Adams County, Ohio about 1829-30, died in Shelby County, Illinois in 1872.
