Notes:

From FindaGrave:

Her early education, though somewhat limited, was such that she became a successful teacher. She was remarkable for strength of mind and characters, and was possessed of uncommon personal beauty. In company she always drew attention for her queenly appearance and high social qualifications. She had a retentive memory which was especially shown in her later years, by the repeating of much she had learned when quite young, and in many cases whole pages of prose or verse which particularly impressed her. She enjoyed the confidence and esteem of her neighbors and friends, and richly deserved the approbation she received for her successful efforts in the management and rearing of so large a family, mostly boys, her husband, during the formation period of their lives, being so much absent upon public official business. She never grew old in her feelings but ever entered into the sports of her children with a zest which carried them with her, in the object for which she considered such pastimes should be indulges in, though a dignity was always maintained in the most familiar recreations, which tended to elevate. The wants of the needy received her kindly attention, and by her benevolence and uniform efforts she did much to enhance the comfort and happiness of others. For nearly fifty years she was an exemplary member of the Congregational church in Bennington, and died confidently trusting in the Christian's hope.
