Sally King (1778)

This grave is near her brother John. During the 1700s infant mortality was high due to illness and poor living conditions. Many didn't survive into adulthood; families had as many children as they could so that a few would carry on the family name. This was made of shale; it had no embellishment on it. Sally was 9 months old when she died.
