Enlargement of the entry for her death shows the date to be 2 Sep 1748. If town hall record of age at death of 10y, 10m, 12d is correct, then her date of birth is 20 Oct 1737.

Inscription

Age 10 years, 10 months, 12 days at death.
The stone does appear to say 1743 for year of death??? This means she would have been born in 1732 one month after her brother, Elijah buried next to her. Therefore, year of death must be 1748.
