Notes - Her birth record names her Maria Elizabeth, but her marker inscription names her as Caroline, 2nd daughter of Thomas. Most likely, the name Caroline was used to distinguish her from her mother. There seems to be little doubt that Maria Elizabeth and Caroline are the same person since the SPAH register states that Lydia is daughter #1, and the stated date of birth for Maria Elizabeth [SPAH register] and for Caroline [Fancy's Point cemetery marker] are within a few days of each other.
