"Five years later, April 27th, 1837, Anna Maria, his faithful coadjutor, companion and comforter through all the strenuous years of life's battle for the right, died and was laid by the side of her beloved in the old graveyard.
(Excerpt from The McGills, by Capt A. McGill, pub 1910,
The Passing Away of the Pioneers, referring to the Anna's death, five years after Patrick's death.)

Anne Marie Baird and husband Patrick welcomed the following children into their lives."
-John McGill (1795 – 1878);
-William Perry McGill (1796 – 1847);
-Nancy (McGill) Burchfield (1798 - 1873)
-Charles D. McGill (1802-1875)
-Maria (McGill) McCloskey

"Light shines dimly on these old affairs. However, it is known that he had married Anna Maria Baird, who was also a lady of good family of the old Scotch Irish stock; well educated for the times; amiable, motherly, strong and resolute as became the dames of those olden days."
(from The McGills, by Capt A. McGill, pub 1910:)

"Anna Maria McGill was not a woman to borrow trouble, but when confronted with it, she was always ready to meet it...
On her good steed she would have charged a battalion in defense of her loved ones, and the feudal dame of story would have been a puff of wind in contact with this gentle Amazon of the forest and the ford. When perilous streams were to be crossed, she fearlessly plunged her horse into the water and found the shallow and smooth places, and the patient oxen followed her through safely."
(from The McGills, by Capt A. McGill, pub 1910:)

Inscription

Back of stone reads:
Sad sad was our parting for
much did we love thee
Yet would we repine
at the way of our Lord
Then sleep neath the grass
Which is growing above thee
Till roused by the sound of the
Angels words. Yes mournfully
think of her now since days gone
and speak of her kindness, her
love and truth; and patiently hope
at the last rising dawn in
glory to view her immortal in youth.
