There are scads of family trees out there that have 1873 as the date of Julia Ann Wingfield's death.
Not true. A review of the accounting documents in Nathaniel C Callaway's probate file gives 1863 as the date her coffin was built by G W Sanders, for which he received $12 on 15 Nov 1865 when the estate was in probate.

The recap of all expenses paid from the estate also notes the $12 "burial expense of wife" toward the bottom.

I still don't know the source of the 1873 date of death.
