Roger, I suspect her birth date of 1866 is wrong. 1880 Census she is next to Daniel Poffenberger family 1870 Check Daniel in Frederick Co., Catoctin 1860 Check Daniel in Frederick Co., Jackson. You'll see a Marietta in that family, age 1 I know this is not proof, but it should give you a better place to look.
