"Telling of his wife's last illness six years
later, he (Sir John Bevan) said:
"In her last sickness she was sensible, she was
not likely to recover out of it, she said: 'I take
it as a great mercy that I am to go before thee, we
are upwards of forty-five years married, and our love
is rather more now towards one another than at the
beginning' •
"She quietly departed this life the 26th of the
Eleventh month 1710, aged 7'3 years and about 4 months."
