Thanks to Find A Grave contributor Kathy (48327819) for providing this information: "New York Episcopal Diocese records for Christ Church in Poughkeepsie, NY show that Frances Greenleaf Ingraham, Duncan and Susannah, parents, baptized July 10th 1800, born Augt 26, 1796." Note: This contradicts the inscription on the marker, which shows year of birth as 1800. The baptismal record entry in the parish's bound inked ledger (via Ancestry) is very clear, but it may or may not be correct. The censuses of 1850, 1860, and 1870 list Frances Sparrow close or identical in age to her husband William; no four-year gap is shown. More research is needed to confirm her date of birth.

Thanks to Find A Grave contributor GMG for providing this information: "Frances Greenleaf Ingraham was the youngest daughter of Duncan and Suzanna [née Greenleaf] Ingraham of Poughkeepsie in Dutchess County, New York."
