[rdickson]: In 1867 this child's mother (Sarah Anne Tate) wrote a letter to her second daughter: "...in December 1857, at Riverhead, a little baby sister was born, who alas, never saw the light, but was carried to Bethel church-yard the day after her birth..."
This letter, to my GtGrandmother, passed on to my Grandmother then to my Aunt. From this I got the birth/death PLACE and assumed the birth date the same as death date (above) since she "never saw the light"
