By Rev. Samuel Snelling, of Whitemarsh, Pa.
Dr. Snelling's wife Margaret, who was greatly beloved and respected, died on the 18th of June, 1667. And among the earliest inscriptions in Whitmore's Copp's Hill Epitaph is one that reads as follows:

Two children survived her; William, born 24 June, 1649, and Anne, born 7 May, 1654. William adopted his father's profession, and became a physician. He married Margaret, widow of William Rogers, by whom he had one child, a daughter. He died, together with his wife and child, in the terrible visitation of small pox in the winter of 1677-78. Anne was married to Francis Davenport, whom she survived twenty years, dying in 1697.
