Reply from Green-Wood Cemetery.

At the time of her death she lived at 756 Thrid Ave, Brooklyn, NY. The cause of her death was old age.

The 1892 New York State census has her living with her son George and his family.

We have her death certificate, which doesn’t say much. #21670, issued byt ehe state of NY on 12/20/1902. At the time of her death she was living at 225 23rd St, Brooklyn, NY.

The death certificate says she lived in the U.S. for 70 years, so that would make the date she came to the U.S. about 1832. It also says she was a resident in NYV about 25 years. I have no evidence of where she might have lived before that, but I have a memory of my mother saying something about New Jersey, on the shore. She might have run a guesthouse.
