Clue #3
William Ayers mourned Liberty's first death.
​I found this information from other hunters:
-
In 1797, a child of William Ayers, who had become a resident, was so badly scalded that it soon died a painful death. This was the first death in the neighborhood, and it became necessary for the community to select a burial-place. A spot was accordingly chosen near Nathan Stanton's, on the Blue mountain, and there in the virgin soil, among relics of the wilderness, themselves fit emblems of mortality, the body of the dead was laid at rest, while its spirit, undefiled by wilful sin, ascended to the bosom of the Friend and Saviour of little children. Its grave was not long the only one in this "God's acre."
​
Information I have found myself:
-
Egypt was named after the first death in Liberty. Know only today as "baby" Parks. The area at the top of Dahlia Hill was originally termed Little Egypt, from answers given as to where they were going, people replied " To go see Little Egypt" They were going to visit the babies grave.

Possible connection to Lily Pond - The White Lily or the Lotus is a symbolic flower of ancient Egypt. Its common name is white lily or water lily .Its botanical name is Nymphaea lotus - Lily pond is full of them during the summer months.
