The eldest is 79 years old, the youngest 57. Her sixth, a son, died aged 62. Ac- cording to the most accurate accounts that can be made by the family, she had 78 grandchildren, 60 of whom are now living; and of the fourth and fifth generations, of whom but four have died. In the whole are 279 descendants, 23 of whom have died, and 256 remain. At the age of 94 she rode twelve or fourteen miles on horseback, to visit one of her children, and was able, till her last sickness, to walk abroad, and to go up and down stairs without assistance. She pos- sessed a strong mind, and retained her faculties, but little impaired, until deranged by her last sickness. She has been for seventy years a professor of religion, and was constant in retiring twice a day for secret devotion, and enjoying an humble hope of eternal glory through the redemption of Jesus Christ her Lord."
