Thanks, Susan. I found another place, too. On p. 217 of Hans Trefousse 's Historical Dictionary of Reconstruction the author gives her birth year as 1817.

And the "encyclopedia" here says about her:

Surratt, Mary E. (c. 1820–1865)

"American woman hanged, despite little evidence of guilt, for involvement in Lincoln's assassination. Name variations: Mrs. Surratt; also seen as Mary Seurat. Born Mary Eugenia Jenkins near Waterloo, Prince George's County, Maryland, around 1820 (some sources cite 1817, others 1823);"
