Hannah (Everest) Holcomb (1771 - 1857) gravestone engraving

Question

She has a really nice memorial and gravestone for her era. We need collaboration on transcribing her gravestone engraving. 

In memory of Hannah  Wife of Dr. Jonathan Holcomb Born in Salisbury Litchfield Co. Conn March 22, 1771  Died in this village Dec. 30, 1857 Aged 86 years 9 mo. & 8 days 

Unable to read further…”Mother May thy spirit…

See her FindAGrave

Thank you

Note: Needs research and sourcing her parental lineage. Is she an Everest? Also what source shows she is the wife of  Jonathan?

Answer 1

Andrew:

    Take a look at this link:

https://sites.rootsweb.com/~ohwarren/military/revwar.htm#Holcomb

   It discusses soldiers of the American Revolution in Warren County, Ohio, and suggests his linked bounty record and pension mention his wife Hannah.  

  The link for the bounty record is dead, but the pension application - 64 pages long - should be at fold3.com.

    Maybe it's a primary source for the marriage.

P.P.S.  You'll love the application.  There are affidavits from Hannah and one of her daughters.

I’m not certain Hannah maiden name is Everest. The mother she is attached to died before she was born

Answer 2

Here is a link to the unmarked graves of Jonathan and Hannah Holcomb in the Rose Hill Cemetery in Warren County, Ohio:
