In fact, since her visit, work has been done on this cemetery. The gravestones of Capt. Israel Marden and his wife Sarah Dowst are now visible. Next to them are Joseph Brown (died Mar. 26, 1859) and his wife Betsey B. ( died Jan. 3, 1857). This Betsey is the 5th child, previously unidentified. Her grandmother, Elizabeth (Betsey) Beck, is her namesake, and her brother Israel also named one of his children Betsey B.
Her father, Capt. Israel spells the last name as Mardin on his headstone.

Records of John Dowst of Allenstown, NH confirm this family.
