NoteDeath dates for Elizabeth and David are taken from a transcription of Vineland Mennonite Cemetery as provided by the Niagara Peninsula branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society. David's stone tells that he died on March 21, 1869, at the age of 69 years, 10 months, and 4 days. Elizabeth's stone tells she died on January 13, 1871, and that her age was 66 years, 4 months, and 17 days. Their dates of birth are calculated from these figures.

Elizabeth's death registration tells that she died 12th January, 1871, but the stone is probably correct.
