It is possible that they are the headstones for Eleanor or her sister Almira Tunison—daughters of Matthias Ten Eyck and Eliza Hall Tunison, Eleanor (Tunison) Voorhees-wife of John H. Voorhees, or Eleanor Tunison Voorhees—daughter of John H. and Eleanor Tunison Voorhees. Catharine Van Horn Williamson is buried in the Old Somerville Cemetery, Somerville, Somerset Co., New Jersey.
