[edit] Mary Ellis

Mary Ellis (1750-1827) was a spinster in New Brunswick, New Jersey whose grave now sits 6 feet above a parking lot.

The oral tradition was that she was seduced by a sea captain who vowed to return to marry her. He never returned and she would come to the spot where her grave now stands, each day, to look for his ship in the Raritan River in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The song "Brandy" by the New Jersey band Looking Glass is said to have been inspired by the Mary Ellis story. The lyrics include the lines: "Brandy, you're a fine girl. What a good wife you would be. But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea." Her family home eventually became the site for the Route 1 Flea Market, and later the Loews Theatre. Her grave now sits in what became the parking lot, and now rests about seven feet above the level of the parking lot.
