Headstone reading appeared to indicate she was the wife of Joseph Wilt, but most evidence in the Second Presbyterian church records suggest she was actually the wife of Abraham Wilt. Other than the headstone reading, there is no other support for her being the wife of Joseph. Changes per research and information provided by contributor #48262454.
Originally interred in Range F of the Second Presbyterian burial ground on Arch Street. Removed to Mount Vernon Cemetery when the churchyard was cleared in 1867.
