     Elizabeth Ayres "Betsey" Townley Gravestones, Methodist Burying Ground, New Providence NJ:

"Meeker, Betsey Ayres, wife of Jonathan M., 1780-Aug.3, 1861 ae. 81"

But also

"Ayre, Betsey, wife of Jonathan Meeker, 1780 - Aug. 3, 1861 ae. 81"

There appears to be a problem here. Cf the following, from First Settlers, p 435:

"Elizabeth [Townley], born 22d August, 1780, married Jonathan M. Meeker, Esq. son of Isaiah meeker, of New Providence, and had no children."

She might have married Mr Ayre(s) first, but First Settlers is usually good at stating such facts. Elizabeth was born on 22 August 1780.³ She married Jonathan Magie Meeker.⁴ Elizabeth died on 3 August 1861 at New Jersey, USA, at age 80.² Her body was interred at New Providence, Essex, New Jersey, USA, at Methodist Burying Ground.²
