- According to Irvineclan.com, "When Capt. Peter Simons Fayssoux died in 1833, his eldest son, Edwards Smith Fayssoux, was appointed to fill his position, which position he held until his death in September 15, 1852, unmarried. After Edwards Smith Fayssoux's death, the family left the Arsenal. Peter Simons Fayssoux's grave was removed many years ago from a Philadelphia burying ground to the Leiper Presbyterian Churchyard near Swarthmore, PA. His widow, Rebekah (Irvine) Fayssoux spent her last years with her daughters, Mrs. Thomas Sumter Mills and Mrs. Samuel J. Randell, in Chester, SC., where she is buried in Evergreen Cemetery."
