During the passage, the small -pox made its appearance in great virulence and occasioned much distress, disease. It is related that Wiliam Penn cheered the dying and the survivors with his Godly conversation during the memorable voyage. One of the passengers writing of the voyage says. "The good conversation of William Penn was very advantageous to all the company. HIs sigular care was manifested in contributing to the necessities of many who were sick of the small-pos then on board, of hwihc about thirty died." The date of her death has not been discovered. but she probably died brfore her husband, as he does not mention her is his will.
