1. Elizabeth, died 1772:'Farewell vain world I must thee leave/To dust I
must return/For out of it I first was made/Therefore forbear to mourn/
Twas in the dawning of my years/That Death to me was sent/To you that
have a longer time/Be careful to repent/For in my health I litle thought/
My glass was run so near/But now the time for me is come/No longer to be
here'.

2. Elizabeth, died 1720: 'All things will turn for good/If you the Lord do
fear this is/the charge I leave to you my/Children dear stick close unto/
this God of mine, which I have/found so true and what you see/hes done
for me heel do the/same for you.
