This grave is directly behind Mary Pendleton Barber's grave and because there are so few markers in the burying ground, I can assume this is the grave of the unmarried daughter of Nathan Barber and Mary Pendleton. It is broken and we could not find the top half.
Rev. Frederick Denison in his book "Westerly & its Witnesses" states: Nancy (dau. of Capt. Nathan and Mary Barber) died Jan. 9, 1818 age 22.
Note that Nancy died on the 9th and her mother died on the 16th of the same month and year.
