Mrs. Asenath, Bethany's mother, and her grandmother were all gone by then, but Bethany remembered their lessons.Bethany also watched and maybe helped as Mrs. Asenath bore 2 children and died, to be replaced by Mrs. Elizabeth Rickard Hockman Kibler who married David on February 25, 1831 and then died on August 22, 1837 after giving birth to 3 children.
