Recently uncovered 2 others besides Caroline and realizing that there are likely 3 similar markers with missing stones.
In addition it appears that Sarah & William are listed together at 118 Beall St, were African American and only Sarah was listed after that which may mean that her husband may have died aprx 1860 - 1864.
Trinity book pg 122, 2nd column lists ''Mrs. Becraft'' age 70,

Additional info from Trinity interment record 1808-1867 notes death of Rosetta (Line ?) ...daughter of William & Sarah McDaniel looks to say Rosetta was 20.
Also note 1834 burial record lists McDonald rather than McDaniel.

They had a 15 year old daughter that was buried at the Georgetown College Grounds in 1834

My original listing said 1785 - 1865

recent info seems to match "Mrs. Becraft" notation in the area of the Trinity book near dates aprx May 1866. Also lists "70 y"

A free woman of color wo worked in the household of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence. Charles Carroll was also a cousin of Jesuit priest John Carroll, the nation's first Catholic bishop and Georgetown University's first president.
