  8. 8.0 8.1 Maria Bower Roe, in Find A Grave.

    The gravestone (which may have been refreshed since originally established) gives her dates as Feb 17 1826 - Dec 29 1882.
    This source also cites a newspaper article from Jan 6 1883 saying she died "on Friday last", which corresponds to Dec 29 1882.
