Elizabeth Catherine Hampshire was the daughter of Valentine Waltman and Catherine Brucker.

In 1783 in Hanover, Pennsylvania, Catherine married Daniel Hamsher. Catherine and Daniel had children: Valentine, Adam, Daniel, Peter, Jacob, Bernard, Barbara, Catherine, Elizabeth, Conrad and John.

From Findagrave contributor Great Caesar's Ghost:

"In memory of Catherine wife of David Hompshire who died Oct 18 1827 age 66 Sermon by the Rev Gray."
I believe the spelling on the stone (with an "o") is a mistake for Hampshire, an alternate spelling of Hamsher in this area.
The reference to Rev. Gray may be Andrew Gray, a well known Methodist clergyman who was active in the area. His grave is listed and nicely photographed in the nearby South Sparta cemetery site.
