My 5th great-grandmother Charity Young (Erickson line) died on this day in 1815 in Tioga County, New York [1, 2]. She was buried at Wellsburg Baptist Church Cemetery in Wellsburg, Chumung, New York. I had the opportunity to visit this cemetery in Nov 2008 while on a trip to Toronto, Ontario and took a photograph of her grave marker.
(Note: There is apparently a long-running controversy over Charity's maiden name: Young or Perkins. I have merely chosen what seems to be the most accepted name.)
