The "1850 Census Roll 272", Page 104, lists her name as "Priscilla H. Bridgham".
The 1840 census lists only one girl under the age of 5. That would be either Priscilla or Caroline. Since the 1850 census lists Priscilla's birthyear as about 1841, we must assume that the other source listing her birthyear as 1837 is wrong.
