Inscription
In 1893, a survey of every monument in the Old St. Paul's Churchyard was conducted, and a missive titled The Silent City was published and included as part of a church publication (like a scrapbook). Original publication unknown. This survey, records the names, dates, and inscriptions "as far as legible." Information for Elizabeth Cole d 1732 matches the 1911 inscription. She is also listed with Stephen Cole d 1745, Elizabeth Cole d 1731, and Martha Hunter Cole Russell. This 1893 survey confirms the 1911 inscription below.
* Per Page 57 in "Ivy Mills, 1729-1866: Willcox and Allied Families" published in 1911: "The following inscription ( almost illegible ) was copied from a tombstone in the church- yard attached to St. Paul's Church in Chester :
"Elizabeth Cole
died September 22d 1732
Aged 70 Years"
This is believed by the writer to be the mother of Elizabeth Cole , who married Thomas Willcox."
Gravesite Details
The 1911 source states that it is barely legible at that time. There was a WPA survey in 1936-37. By that time it must not have been legible as her grave is not identified. It is possible it is WPA grave #71 or 72. Stephen, her son is #73.
