Buckhannon, cause of death congestion of lungs.  (Note:  "Ritchie County WV Cemeteries through 1993," p. 642, reports 
same death date, but with age on headstone as 74y 20d.  This is presumably either a misreading or a typographical error, 
since age 79 conforms to her approximate birthdate in her marriage record.), DR p.

Event Notes
Note (1) Age 71y 8m 3d on headstone would put birth date at Oct-23-1824.  But Census
and marriage record put it at about 1828.  Grandson's SAR application states
1825.
Note (2) Birth date given as 1841 in Sons of the American Revolution application
submitted by grandson Clyde O. Law in 1950.
