    "Hall, … Mary, adm. full communion Mar. 24, 1723 [1:45]"
    "Hall, … Mary, [bp. or adm. com.] 24-1-1723 [1:114]"

    It is unlikely that these entries apply to the Mary Hall who married John Stocking and Nathaniel Chauncey. An infant or young child would not be admitted to full communion.

    This monument is probably a cenotaph; it appears likely, but not certain, that Nathaniel Chauncey and his two wives were buried at Durham.
