Daughter of John Rush and Lucinda Carpenter, wife of William Benham
Please note: headstone declares Lucy was born in 1826, but death certificate gives date of birth as 9 December 1832. If the headstone is correct, her mother would have been just 15 when Lucy was born. In addition, the parents marriage record declares they wed in 1831, 5 years after Lucy's birth. I believe the family was most likely mistaken on Lucy's date of birth when they ordered the headstone.
