    [In Rikers [sic] Ridge (or Hillis) burying-ground, a monument reads]
    ... "In memory of Sarah Smith Eastin, who died near this place and was buried here in the year 1843. She was married to Lieutenant Philip Eastin at Winchester, Va., in 1782, near which place she was born, being a descendant of the Hite family, who first settled that valley. The prosperity of early life gave place in her old age to poverty and the hardships of rearing a large family in a new country; but she acted her part well under all circumstances, and died with the respect and love of all who knew her. Now that the joys and sorrows of a long and eventful life are over, they sleep well. May they rest in peace. This monument is erected to their memory by their grandson, William H. English."
