"Anne lived to the age of 92, and retained her faculties of mind and memory to a remarkable degree. She was eminently social, an entertaining conversationalist and as she was on terms of intimacy with the wives of many of the leading men of the revolutionary period she was considered authority on reminiscences of the war for fifty years after its close."

[sic] (1888), p. 384, states that "The bodies of all these individuals [i.e., Jared Sexton, his wife Anne Larison, and her second husband, Benjamin Parke] were buried in the ancient Parke-Larison Cemetery which was near the center of James Larison's homestead." Ralph Ege, in Pioneers of Old Hopewell (1908), p. 239, states that "Judge [Jared] Sexton ... is buried in the family plot on the farm." It is not clear whether "the family plot" was the Parke-Larison burial ground, or possibly the nearby Sexton family burial ground; see GMNJ 27:14 (Jan. 1952). Note: See GMNJ 71:16 (1996)
