Birth & Death dates came from the diary Margaret Teresa Jane "Janie" (Davenport) Hice kept while her children were sick & dying in the summer & fall of 1893.

"Priscilla was 18 years of age, August 27th and was taken sick September 22nd and died October 10th The next day after she was taken sick she came into the house and said, "Mother I don't want to take any more medicine, for it is no use. My time has come, and I have to go." All the doctors in the world cannot do me any good, for 1 told you some time ago that I was going to die, and now the time has come, and I will have to go, and I will be glad. 1 want to see the hour come when I will go to meet with little Annie and Robert, and 1 don't want none of you to grieve after me for 1 will be in Heaven. She told her sister the day before she was taken sick that she was going to die, and her sister turned away in tears. She said, "Do not grieve for I have to go and you too", and soon all of us children are going to die in a short time, and what is the use in grieving, but rejoice that we will soon all be in Heaven together, never to be parted anymore. Her sister, George and me were talking about dying. He said. "He knowed he was going to die." All I care for is in leaving mama and papa alone, for I believe they will be left pretty near alone, but I pray to the Lord to enable them to bear their trouble for the Lord's will, will be done."
