PEACE! tis the Lord Jehovah's hand
That blasts our joys in death
Changes the visage once so dear
And gathers back our breath

She was the eldest (known) child of William Nursey
and Mary Watson.

also of Desborough, in 1799. It is not known why she was described as "daughter of" but not "wife of" or
"widow of".
