Decr. 7th James Carpenter of Purchase showed me the Halsted burying ground contiguous to the Quaker Meeting house. The following is the inscription upon the tombstone of Mrs. Hungerford wife of Major Hungerford - vizt. "The Remains of Charity Hungerford lies Here: Called to the Eternal world the 16th day of July 1807, in the 52nd year of her age." As (according to Jeremiah Anderson and Daniel Halsted) Major Hungerford survived his wife two or three years, it's therefore probable that he died in or about the year 1810. He died in Harrison and directed that no inscription should be placed upon his tomb stone. His remains and those of his wife lie in the Halsted burying ground.
