Dating is not an exact science and there will always be exceptions to the rule. Do you have any more photos of here for comparison and do you know here date of birth?

other family members think it looks like a woman born in 1808 that they have older 70yo photos of but that would make her at least 66 if it's not a copy (so nope), and if it's a copy of a daguerreotype/ambrotype then she'd be around 38-50 (not likely). I personally don't think it's her, I don't think the family would have had money for dags/ambros back then.
