The Social Security Death Index states that her date of birth was 28 December 1878 which conflicts with the 1881 Canadian census which clearly states that she was six months old.

Mariah M. White on the 1881 Canadian census is most likely the same as Alice Mae White. When Alice Mae White Chase died on 7 December 1921, her death certificate stated that she was age 43 years, 10 months and 21 days which places her birth on or about 17 Jan 1878. Her parents were stated as being Andrew White and Idella Banks. The 1900 United States federal census states that Alice Goodnough (her first married surname) was born in Jan. 1878 which matches with the stated age on the death certificate. However, the 1881 Canadian federal census indicates that the children of Andrew and Idella White were his son James N. (age 9) and their daughters Mariah M. (age 2) and Ida B. (age 6 mos.). Alice White is not listed in the 1881 census. The White family are not on the 1891 Canadian census having apparently already relocated to Maine, and there is no 1890 United States census because in burnt. Given the evidence, it is like that Alice M. White Goodnough Chase is the same person as Mariah M. White on the 1881 Canadian census. There were no provincial birth records from 1877 to 1908. Since the family were Baptists, there are no known baptismal records as the Baptists generally did not record births but performed adult baptismal.
