Burial

Covill Hill Cemetery, Wrightsville, Monmouth County, New Jersey, USA[1]

Deborah Lincoln, died of a childhood disease at age 3 years, 4 months. She was the daughter of Mordecai and Hannah Salter Lincoln.

Added January 19, 2013: According to Kenneth Shuttleworth, reporter for the Trenton Evening Times in 1965, who inspected the grave that year, the Headstone actually reads: Deborah Lincoln, Aged 3 Years, 4 Months, 15 Days, May 15, 1720"

He continues to say, "The monument to the child, about one foot square is a milestone of the onward march of the Lincolns to Illinois - and to the White House."

Owners of property at that time were quoted as saying, "Years ago relatives of the people buried in the cemetery came to decorate the graves, but no more. Sometimes people interested in history came to visit. But now nobody cares anymore."

The state Department of Conservation and Economic Development had made arrangements to buy the cemetery property under terms of the Assunpick Creek Project. They planned on marking the area and trying to make the site a tourist attraction.
