this child's death records mother as Nathan's 2nd wife but the gravestone is carved Alice, first wife. Alice had just died a week earlier and her husband did not marry his 2nd wife until 5 months later; age at death of 9 weeks matches the birth date of child Thomas in Nov 1799; presume Thomas Pearse Barrett and Nathan Augustus Barrett were twins and that their mother died as a result of complications from childbirth
