Wife of Joshua Swaim.
Death inferred from birth date and "aged 59 years & 23 days", which would make the death year 1865. The "9" of 59 is not totally certain from the photo on the website. It could be a "0", which would make the death year 1856.
Oct 14, 2011: A note from user cfenters (46996728), referencing a book titled "The Pioneers from Vickory to Vickrey", by Mae Elizabeth Lang, published abt 1976 indicates that the correct years are 1806-1856: "[Lang] notes some names & dates that were copied from the tombstones in this cemetery. [For Nancy Swain] the dates are listed as 1806-1856."
However, the census record of the family for 1860, on the private website ancestry.com, shows Nancy being about 53, so the 1865 date date appears to be the correct calculation.
The names and ages listed on that census are [sic]:
Joshua Swain 55
Nancy Swain 53
Luther C Swain 21
Susannah Swain 19
Hannah Swain 18
Martha Swain 14
Mary Glass 28
William J Glass 6
Joseph J Glass 4
