Mrs. Sarah Purcell

Recently returned from genealogy search.  Discovered a grave stone for Mrs. Sarah Purcell, born September 25, 1794 in County Limerick.  Died August 26, 1856 in Richmond Virginia, USA.  Buried in the Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond Virginia, USA.  If anyone knows of this person I can forward a photo of the grave stone.

Arizona,

I attach a copy of the 1850 census for Richmond. Head of House - John Purcell age 34 born Virginia - No. 482

An entry for a Sarah Purcell aged 58 - Born Ireland who is possibly John's mother?

There is also an entry for an Ann Brogan born in Ireland.

Is there any other name on the gravestone which would alert distant relatives?

Regards,

McCoy
