From "Chester (And Its Vicinity,) Delaware County, In Pennsylvania," John Hill Martin, 1877, page 145. (Google Books.)
Mary Morton (4th child of the signer) married Charles Justis of Kingsessing, where they resided all their lives and died, and their remains were buried in the old grave-yard of the Swedes church at that place, now called St. James Church. On his tombstone is this inscription:
"Deposited in Hope! Here resteth Charles Justis, who died Jan. 10th, A. D. 1789, aged 34 years & 3 months."
There is a space where his wife is buried alongside his grave, but no stone covers her remains. She died suddenly in the harvest field, where she had gone to oversee her men at work, some years after her husband's death. She left four children, Charles, John M., Rebecca, and Mary; the latter died unmarried.
