    [Both these records are listed along with a third death record that applies to the daughter named Susanna born 16 Feb 1760. There are only two birth records, the first on 10 Oct 1758 and the aforementioned second one on 16 Feb 1760. As they are written, the three death records for Susanna Fox, daughter of Jacob and Abigail, would require three daughters named Susanna to be born in 18 months, which is clearly not possible. So something is wrong. It appears that the record based on the gravestone is incorrect since it comes 8 days after the birth of the second daughter Susanna. Either the date of death is wrong to explain why another daughter was named the same, or the age at death is wrong and should be 8 days (but then we don't know who the third death record applies to). It seems probable the date of death is wrong, because the first death record and the first birth record suggest 5 months was the correct age at death. So the gravestone appears to record the same death as the first record, just with an erroneous death date.]
