Patrick Henry's first wife (Sarah Shelton) died from a mental illness that began in 1771. Sarah started to manifest disturbing behaviors which could not at that time be diagnosed or treated. ...her mental condition deteriorated rapidly, and when she became dangerous to herself and others, she was clothed in a 'Quaker shirt,' an early form of strait jacket. The family could not give her a religious service or Christian burial. She was buried thirty feet from the home they shared and planted a lilac tree next to her grave to remember her. The tree still stands there, a few steps from the door to her basement.
