Sarah Leonard Throckmorton.
Birth: May 30, 1660 Massachusetts, USA
Death: Feb. 5, 1743 Monmouth County, New Jersey, USA
The birth date is not on the stone, but is calculated from her age at death (83 years, 8 months, 6 days).

born 26 Jun 1663 in Lynn, Essex, Massachusetts
father: Henry Leonard
The published VR's from which the FamilySearch record was taken (see images) shows: 'Sara, d. Henry, 26 : 4 m : 1663. Ct. R.'
Note that in 1663, the 4th month was June. This record comes from "Court Records" so presumably some years after her birth, but still might be more reliable than the birth date calculated from her age at death, when her age may have been exaggerated.
