These are the graves of Richard Umstead, proven son of Jacob
and Ann Adams Umstead, and his wife Magdalene Nash Tyson. Richard
was born about August 22, 1743 and died October 28, 1816. The
stone reads "In Memory of RICHARD UMSTEAD who departed this
life October 28th 1816 Aged 73 Years 2 months & 6 days."
Magdalena was born about June 19, 1751 or 1752 and died October
5, 1785 or 1786. Rehnford's transcript incorrectly shows her dying
in 1784. Her stone reads "In Memory of MAGDALENE UMSTED the
wife of RICHARD UMSTED who departed this life Octo 5(?) 178(5
or 6) aged 34 years 3 months 16 days." Magdalene is said
to have been the daughter of William Sellen Tyson and Alice (Elise)
Nash. Information on Richard's proven parentage may be found in
Corrections to Jacob Line.
