Buried in Jersey Baptist Church cemetery

Susannah was born in Pennsylvania to a Quaker family.  About a year after she married Hugh she had to leave her church because he wasn't a Quaker.  A few years later they left Pennsylvania for North Carolina where she lived the rest of her life.  Her tombstone reads:

Here lies the body of Susannah McCrary who departed this life Oct 20, 1800. Aged 73 years. My race is run, My life is done, My resting place is here, This stone was got to keep the spot, Lest men should dig too near.
