Jacob B. Moats (Motz) is likely buried here next to his wife Catherine [nee Lautenschlager] Moates (1777-1849), although his grave marker has not yet been discovered. Her gravestone reads: 72 years, 1 month, 13 days which calculates perfectly to her birth/baptismal record of 17 Feb 1777. Jacob B. Moats' birth date was calculated from the newspaper reported age of death of 81 years, 4 months, 29 days on 19 Apr 1859 which yields a birth date of 21 Nov 1777.
