Sarah's gravestone was a white sandstone gothic tablet that has also weathered somewhat but not as badly as that of her husband. Most of the inscription is somewhat easily readable and is says "Sarah, wife of John H. Crees, Died June 26, 1869, Aged 65 Yrs. 1 Mo. 5 Ds."

NOTE - I'm sure of the exact relationship to Elizabeth Robinson but she shows up on the 1860 Census under the name of "Elizabeth Crees" with an age of 12. Because of this, many researchers mistakenly assume that she was another daughter born to John and Sarah. I believe she was probably an illegitimate daughter of Nancy who was shown on this 1850 Census as "Elizabeth Robinson" and later was referred to as "Elizabeth Crees" simply because she lived with and was raised by Nancy and her parents. Another possibility is that she might have been some unknown relative that was orphaned in 1850 and was adopted, either officially or otherwise, by John and Sarah thus explaining her name change by 1860.
