Research Notes
Note from Cole-14574 deleted the Find A Grave citation. The link goes to a statement that says "This memorial has been removed." I could not find any other citation about her death. I have changed to death date to about 1795 due to the lack of a citation. It should be noted that the original date of 29 Sep 1795 is shown in her Family Search link but no citation is provided. Family tree at ancestry.com use the Find A Grave link.
