Family lore says that her name was Elizabeth Jane and several documents state her middle initial as "J", the only place it appears as a "T" is on the gravestone. One can only guess as to how the stone came to be engraved incorrectly but it is possible that the engraver simply mistook a block letter "J" for a "T" on the work order.
