Mary Shields Jaynes (1833-1866): Gravesite


Mary Shields Jaynes Sheen is my 3rd great grandmother.  This is a photo of her headstone that I found on the Find A Grave website.

She is buried in the Kaysville City Cemetary in Kaysville, Utah.

She died during childbirth on June 9th, 1866.  The child, named Joseph Thomas Sheen, also died that day.

Her husband, James Sheen, eventually remarried after the death of Mary.

Notice that the death date does not match the headstone.  The birthdate on the headstone is also off from what my records show.  I have her birthdate listed as March 21, 1833.
