The stone pictured is presumed to be correct; it is almost completely illegible, but nearly matches in size and general shape, and stands next to Alexander Bushnell.
Chloe Waite is the wife of Alexander Bushnell, the head of the Bushnell family in Hartford Ohio.
She is said to be a descendant of Thomas Waite, the regicide, one of those who signed the death warrant of King Charles I of England, and was later imprisoned after the restoration of his son Charles II as King. The history(s) of Hartford, Trumbull Co., OH mention her frequently as living a long life and having over 300 living descendants in the late 1800's (at the time the histories were written).

Nearly thirty years before she came here with three generations of descendants, and but for an accident might have lived her hundred years. At the time of her death her descendants numbered three hundred and twenty-two, four being of the fifth generation.

Chloe married Captain Alexander Bushnell, son of Captain William Bushnell and Thankful Higgins, on 12 Feb 1761 in Lyme, CT. (Captain Alexander Bushnell was born on 2 Dec 1739 in Lyme, CT, died on 8 Mar 1818 in Hartford, OH and was buried in Hartford, OH, Hartford Township Cemetery.)
