A transcript of a record in a notebook believed to have been given to Jean Morry Funkhouser by Howard Morry. The entries appear to be transcribed from family-related gravestones but the hand is not that of Howard Morry so it is unclear who wrote these records but it is believed to be either of his two aunts Jane or Frances [NB: Nimshi Crewe records that these notes were made by Jane Morry Gray, Dad Morry's Aunt Josey]:

"Sacred to the memory of William Oxenham, who died 9 Jan. 1805, Aged 75 years. Also Mary his daughter who died 2 Jan. 1832 Aged 76 years. Also Thomasine Dunsterville, the dearly beloved wife of Mr. James H. Carter, who departed this life on 12 Septr. 1835 Aged 40 years."

It was later learned from Jean Carter Stirling, who supplied a photo of the memorial that it is on the wall inside St. Saviour's Church in Dartmouth

Sarah daughter of William and Sarah Oxenham baptised 20^th October 1752 Dulverton Somerset.

Sarah Dunsterville nee Oxenham died in 1801. Her will, below, shows that she had legally separated from her husband William. She predeceased her husband (see the reference in William Oxenham's will above to his son in law) but presumably because of the separation, was able to dispose of her estate as she wished. Her will was proved 7^th April 1801 by her sister Mary Oxenham, one of her executors.

In the name of God Amen. I Sarah Dunsterville of Stonehouse in the County of Devon knowing the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death and being of sound mind and judgement do hereby make this my last will and testament hereby revoking and cancelling all former wills

For love to listen to, and sorrow mourn,
And weep these joys that never can return.

161118:

At this time I am unable to place this Catherine Winser into any of the Winser families in Denbury as I lack a baptism record for her. It is known that some of the Winsers resided in Torbryan, as did the groom in this case, and it is possible that she was baptised there or somewhere nearby. But according to the marriage register, at the time of their wedding she was "of this parish", whilst he was "of Torbryan".
