Amid the frosts of Autumn time
Has left us with the flowers"

Smith, Mary

Born: BUYS #: 157
Died: May 31, 1856 Stone #: 22
Aged: 49 Years 5 Months 12 Days Location: M 2

Mary is the daughter of Abel & Barsheba Smith.

Buys refers to her as the daughter of "Bershebe," and Mary's tombstone reads "Daughter of Abel & Bershebe Smith." Mary is buried immediately adjacent to a tombstone engraved "Barsheba (wife of Abel)" and another for Abel Smith (Stones #20 and#21 respectively). We conclude that "Bershebe" and "Barsheba" are two spellings for the same person.

Smith, Warren

Born: BUYS #: 164
Died: April 1, 1841 Stone #: 24
Aged: 2 Years 3 Months Location: M 2

Warren Son of Able & Belinda Smith.

Note: Buys incorrectly refers to "Bershebe" Smith as Warren's mother. There is also some confusion around the spelling of his father's name, Able. Both Warren's tombstone and Buys declare "Abel" to be the spelling of Warren's father, but we know from "Able" Smith's tombstone that it was he who was married to Belinda.

We know that "Abel" is the husband of Barsheba Smith, not Belinda Smith, and that he is the father of Mary Smith, not Warren Smith.

Warren Smith's tombstone reads:

"In Memory of
Warren, Son of
Abel & Belinda
Smith, who died
April 1, 1841:
Aged 2 Years
3 Months"
