About Jerusha de Witt
Research by J. Kelsey Jones in 1988:
Date of birth from a family bible record.
Jerusha Price married Isaac DeWitt. He is not the Isaac DeWitt baptized 1 November 1741 son of Paulus DeWitt and wife Catherine in the Reformed Church at Readington, New Jersey as this Isaac died 18 September 1828 87 years 7 days (memorial) buried Upper Harmony Cemetery, Warren County, New Jersey. The Isaac DeWitt married to Jerusha Price was taxed in Newton township (that portion that is now Frankford), Sussex County, New Jersey in 1773 with 10 acres, 4 horses/cattle; 1774, 21 acres and 4 horses/cattle. He is perhaps the Isaac DeWitt, Sr., in the 1793 Sussex County light horse militia, third company. The name of Jerushey DeWitt appears on the 1797 membership list of the First Baptist Church of Wantage. Will of Isaac DeWitt dated 28 July 1811 Frankford township named wife "Gerusha" to have one third of moveable and real estate and house we now live in. Residue of estate divided among children, John, Isaac, Ann, Caty, Elizabeth, heirs of Gerusha, Jemiah, Sarah, Lucy, and Subah. Daughter, Mary, now Janes, $1. Inventory dated 25 January 1813 and Will proved 9 February 1813. Jerusha signed by mark. At his death, Isaac left about 175 acres of land, which was all sold by his estate (L2:108, N2:140, S2:356). Jerusha removed with some of her children to Knox County, Ohio, perhaps c. 1818.
Jerusha purchased property 29 April 1820 (D:595-6) in Knox County, Ohio from John P. Lindley and his wife, Susannah, being in Section 2, Township 7, Range 14. Jerusha DeWitt, of Chester township, deeded (O:60) 32 acres on 13 December 1828 to Benjamin Pitman, for $1, for "love and affection which I bear towards my daughter Jemima, wife of the said Benjamin Pitman of Franklin township, in said County of Knox," containing 32 acres and 132 perches, known as lot no. 3. On this same date, Jerusha deeded (H:138-9) to "my daughter Susannah Dalrymple" of Marion County, for $1, the southeast corner of her 1820 purchase, containing 32 acres and 137 perches, known as lot 4. Also, on this same date, Jerusha deeded (M:324-5) the northeast corner of her 1820 purchase to Charles Mann, for $1, for "love and affection which I bear towards my daughter Asuba Mann, wife of the said Charles Mann of Marion County," containing 32 acres and 137 perches, known as lot 1. Jerusha signed by mark on all land transfers. After selling these three parcels there remained 32 acres and 137 perches in the northwest corner of her 1820 purchase, which she sold (O:61) 23 August 1831, while a resident of Knox County, to Benjamin Pitman, for $120.00 and known as lot 2 (present Wayne township) in Section 2, Township 7, Range 14. Jerusha is not enumerated in the 1830 census enumeration with any of her known children (John DeWitt, Azuba Mann, Elizabeth Hazen, Susannah Dalrymple, Isaac DeWitt, or Catherine Struble) living in Ohio. Perhaps she was living with Jemima Pittman or another daughter whose residence has not been located in 1830.

Inscription
The memorial could possibly read:
In
memory of Jerusha
DeWitt who died
Oct. 20 nD, 1831
aged 81 years 3 m
25 days.
Her age at death would compute to a date of birth of June 25, 1750, which would be off by one year and one month from the bible record of her birth, which would not be uncommon.
