INDEX

[2009] BIRTH: Ohio Cemetery records and the Fretz book of genealogy.
Inscription on her tombstone reads: "Martha, wife of Joseph, died
Sept. 16,
1842, aged 85 years. 'Far from a world of grief and sin, With God
Eternally
shut in'."

There is a discrepancy in date of Martha's death. Federal Archives
records of
the final payment of his pension is signed by Martha (her mark) on
October 4,
1842, making it seem that the tombstone inscription may be in error.
