Age 72.

Daughter of Nathaniel Pettit.

Wife of Dennis Woolverton.

Her year of birth has been questioned.

According to the book "Annals Of The Forty No. 7", Loyalist and Pioneer Families of West Lincoln 1783-1833, by R. Janet Powell . It has the Family of Pettits' beginning 1445 through 1854. The information about Elizabeth Pettit Woolverton was included. Her birth year is 1714 not 1712. The reason is the children of Nathaniel Pettit and Elizabeth Heath were almost born two years apart of other brother and sisters. There is a sister named Abigail who was born about 1712, then Elizabeth in 1714, Andrew about 1716, Jonathan in 1721, Amos in 1722, Nathaniel, Jr. born 1724, John born 1726, Isaac born in 1728 and last, Charles in 1730.

Based on the apparent memorial inscription, if she turned 72 in 1784, her birth year would be 1712. If she turned 72 in 1785, that would make it 1713.

The date is left at 1712 pending further documentation.
