It may be remembered that Dr. Moore received this very book from the hands of the Rev. Epenetus Townsend for safe keeping in 1779. The ancient Prayer Book, which was printed at Cambridge, England, by Joseph Bentham, in 1764, is still preserved in the parish.

She died unmarried in 1815, and was inferred in the family cemetery, on Heatheote hill, Mamaroneck.
