Sarah Rightmeyer b. abt 1797 Saugerties NY

I am looking for information on Sarah Rightmeyer b. abt 1796, married to Martin Margison.
Katsbaan Reformed Church, Saugerties, NY
Marriage, Nov 24, 1816 between Martin Margerson of Saugerties and Sally
Rechtmeyer of Saugerties.

The marriage record places her place of birth as Saugerties. Census records and her gravestone inscription put her DOB as 1797.

Gertude Barber collection of Gravestone Inscriptions for Sullivan County, NY
Vol. 3, P.6
Old Bethel Cemetery (located on Rt. 17B, Bethel, NY)
Martin Margison d. Feb 2, 1857, aged 63-11-17
His wife Sarah, d. Aug. 25, 1871 aged 74-1-7

Published records on Rootsweb name her parents as Petrus (Peter) Rightmeyer b.1758 and Elisabeth Queen, and have her birth date as 1794:
Oak Hill DRC Baptisms Oak Hill, Greene County NY
Sarah, born 9th Dec. 1794
Father Peter Richtmeyer Junr
Mother Elizabeth Queen
Sponsors: Peter Richtmeyer, Sen
Heyltie Richtmeyer
Baptised by Rev. P. Van Vlierden

The evidence I have tells me that unless the transcription of her baptism is incorrect, this is not the same Sarah who married Martin Margison, as my Sarah was born almost 3 years after the Sarah baptised in Greene County NY. Does anyone have any ideas?
