The infant daughter of John and Ann Abrell, little Susannah survived only ten days. She lies interred here with her father, who died five years later at the age of 40, and five young siblings, including a baby sister, also named Susannah, who was born in 1759 and died in 1760.
The Abrells' brown sandstone stele, which features a square-jawed, prominent-chinned soul effigy in its tympanum, appears to be the work of noted Manhattan carver John Zuricher.
