NOTE: Details on this memorial are taken from a family history. I have had mixed luck with family histories as many are full of errors. I add this information but note it is subject to error. For example the history lists Mindwell was born in 1777. Her headstone gave death year as 1853 and age at time of death as 74. That would make birth year about 1779.
From "Dewey Geneaology" page 422:
NATHAN DEWEY, son of Samuel, b. May 7, 1742, at Lebanon, Conn.;
was a farmer at Orford, N. H., after 1769; m. Dec. 3, 1766, at Hebron,
Conn., MINDWELL HORSFORD, dau. of Joseph, b. June 26, 1745, at
Hebron.
