Phebe Apsey

I have found 2 baptism records for Phebe Apsey, born to Malachi and Charlotte Apsey.  The 1851 Canadian census states that Phebe is 4 years old, making the 1848 baptism likely hers.  What happened to the Phebe born in 1841?  There is a burial record for a Phebe Apsey dated 11/30/1842, but the age listed is 27.  Could that be a transcriber’s mistake?
