Jane Skinner Cooney likely died in childbirth at the age of 30. Her husband purchased the grave, indicating that she was from Ireland, although she recorded she was from Yorkshire, England. He placed their three children in care - William, age 4; Edward, age 1; and newborn Mary. He was a ship's carpenter who returned to sea and is not buried with his wife.
The cemetery has confirmed that there are two other individuals buried in this same plot - Anna Glennon Gonsules and Joseph Murray. The only connection I can find is that both appeared to live in the same area of Manhattan where the Cooney family had lived.
