From a letter written in 1959 by granddaughter Nellie Belle Tracy Ross:
"My mother's name was Clara Adelle Weston, born to Benjamin Smith Weston in Vermont. My father was Perry Thomas Tracy, born in New York. B. S. Weston was born in Champlain Ill. Caledonia Co."
Also, records for Benjamin have birth in New York, which is more likely since he later moved to VT
NOTE: many documented records have Benjamin Frank Weston as full name

B. Weston does not show up on the cemetery kiosk; there was a transcription by the WPA. Perhaps this is one of those flat headstones (it has no dates) that has been overgrown??? Challenge to find it??? :)
