Daughter of Stephen and Sarah Briggs Wing

She is mentioned in her father's will, December 2, 1700, and is left a legacy of twenty shillings. She was at that time 36 years of age and apparently unmarried. It is generally believed that she remained with her father and kept house for him after the death of her mother in 1689. No record has been preserved of her death.

NOTE - As per the description of this cemetery, the very first paragraph states:
"Following the Quaker belief that tombstones were an unnecessary show of worldly grandeur, there are no tombstones in this ancient cemetery."

*****There are no tombstones in this cemetery.*****
