His widow, who was a remarkably vigorous woman, and able, when over eighty years old, to walk from Stamford Landing, two and a half miles, to her home, died in Stamford, 24 Feb. 1849, aged 87 years, 10 months and 24 days; and was buried near her husband, in a graveyard south of the village, near the river and the railway, where their gravestones may still be found, by one willing to encounter the weeds and mosquitoes. She was a Communicant in the Episcopal Church.
