Notes:

Died:
I do think she would be buried here,her mother and some of her children are here.It seems Joseph Stevens was the last child she had and he was born 1863,so she died after 1863 and before 1869.William had remarried to Elizabeth and they had a daughter in 1869. There are so many unmarked graves in the cemetery.
