Jacobus quotes from obituary of Deborah (Dayton) Mansfield, Connecticut Journal, 3 Jun 1817: If the uniform practice of industry, prudence, fidelity and benevolence, springing from vital piety, deserves the esteem of fellow mortals, let the memory of the deceased be regarded. She was an uncommon woman in her day, stout and robust in form, of strong, well balanced mind, of excellent judgment, and a vein of pleasant humor. Intelligent people from a distance sought her society to enjoy her original, independent and shrewd remarks. She was familiar with the Bible, with writings of Flavel, Baxter, Edwards and Bellamy; had seen and conversed with Washington, and had heard Whitfield preach. She bore her long illness of nearly five years with patient resignation. In answer to an inquiry once put to her by the Rev. Dr. Mason, she replied: “Having through divine grace been able to resist the attacks of the adversary for nearly sixty years, I shall not be left to fall into his hands at last, but feel sure of victory through the crucified, risen, reigning and all conquering Redeemer.”
Since she lived to an age of 92 years, her comment: “Having through divine grace been able to resist the attacks of the adversary for nearly sixty years, I shall not be left to fall into his hands at last, but feel sure of victory through the crucified, risen, reigning and all conquering Redeemer” raises a question of the other thirty years—or perhaps there is an error in her dates recorded here, or perhaps this was not a statement made near her death?
