died aged 78y; "Mrs R (Booth) Bassett;" born Hinsdale; parents Jacob and Lucinda.
MVR birth records state there was a "Roxany" Booth born in 1800 so she would have been aged 81y at death vs. aged 78y MRV and carved on gravestone. If she was aged 78y in 1881 then her birth year would be about 1803 - census records have her year of birth as 1805/06. It could it be that there was an earlier child, also named Roxanna, who died young, and this Roxanna is that deceased child's namesake.
