May 12,1841
Aged 66 years

(footstone) S.D.

Notes:

Sarah (Buck) DuBois was the wife of Jacob C. DuBois and they were married on 11/03/1796 in Marbletown, Ulster
County, New York.  They are buried beside each other in DuBois Cemetery, surrounded by several members of their
extended family.  At the time of Sarah’s death in 1841, her son, Martin, donated an acre of his land to become
DuBois Cemetery.  Sarah was the first burial in the new cemetery.  Sarah’s husband, Jacob C., was born 12/15/1771 in
Marbletown, Ulster County, New York, and died 09/11/1844 in Alaiedon Township.  He was the son of Coenradt/Conrad
DuBois (06/22/1735-1810) and Maria (Delamater) DuBois (06/12/1740-1789).  Both Jacob C.’s father (Coenradt/Conrad)
and brother (Martin, 1764-1854) served in the New York infantry in the Revolutionary War.  Martin and his wife
Margaret died on the same day and were buried together in a shared grave in Fitchburg Cemetery.
Jacob C. and Sarah (Buck) DuBois had seven sons: Asa (1798-06/08/1885), Martin (1801-1880), John
(08/30/1804-02/11/1880), Garrett (02/08/1806-09/23/1884), James (circa 1810-August 1879), Jacob
(05/10/1812-06/16/1880), and Stephen Buck (03/20/1816-10/29/1861).  Two of these sons married Longyear women.  Jacob 
arried Mary Longyear in 1844 and Stephen married Hannah Longyear (date unknown).
