This is the close up of the older Nancy's stone. It is the original one that
was near the Nashville settlement (near present day Hearne on the Brazos
River). Our Uncle George had her body moved to Scrutchfield. He also had the
newer granite one made saying she was L. Scrutchfield's mother that will
appear in subsequent pictures. The inscription says:
Sacred
to
the Memory
of
Nancy Roberts born
Dec. 27, 1800
Who departed this life
Dec. 29th 1839 aged 39 years
and 2 days
