1830 Columbus County census, the household consisted of 1 female, age 40-50.

Born 1780-1790



1850 Columbus census, was age 74

Born ca 1776



The 1860 Columbus County census gives the following record:

Died January, 1860, age 90. BORN CA 1770



Based on these records, how would I calculate the birth year of this woman?
Will you please explain the process of reaching that conclusion?



Thanks for any help.
