On the nearby wall tablet dedicated to Martha Utber the text states that" in a vault at the foot of this monument lies interr'd together with her only Daughter The Body of Martha Utber" The arms at the top of the floor tablet resemble the arms on Martha Utber's memorial. Martha's daughter predeceased her mother by more than sixteen years, as the wall tablet was erected in 1745 sometime before Martha died in 1761.
Presumably Martha Utber.
