Born circa 1796 PA, Margaret Sterrett married Elisha Pelham in 1819. Mrs. Pelham died sometime after 1850. Her memorial was placed here because her husband rests in this cemetery.
Perhaps given name, Margaret, was in memory of her mother and her great grandmother, Margaret Reed nee Floyd.
Was Mrs. Pelham's son, Benjamin, named in honor of her uncle, Col Benjamin Stephenson?
