In addition to the above, there is also a rather large stone in the section of the cemetery where Daniel, Nancy and their children are buried. One wonders if this might be Daniel's father, Jacob. This stone is extremely weathered. Perhaps another attempt at a rubbing might determine if this tombstone is, in fact, Jacob's.
