Abraham Jackson Tombstone Inscription

On a 2005 cemetery trip to Knox County, Ohio, I found Abraham Jackson and his wife buried in the Bird Cemetery of Liberty Township, Knox County, Ohio. One marker included both transcriptions.

For Abraham the transcription reads: Abraham Jackson Born Near Hagerstown, Md. JAN. 27, 1759  DIED JUNE 21, 1847   88Y. 4M. 24 D.  His wife’s inscription was on the opposite side of the marker. It reads: Sarah Widow of Abram Jackson Born in Virginia  Nov. 5, 1770  Died April 10, 1775  Aged 83Y. 5M.
