This is a cenotaph. According to Peggy Mnich: Alice and her family moved to Wethersfield in 1635, and she died there in 1639. Thomas then moved to Stamford in 1640. Where he met and married Mary is unknown, but he married her circa 1640. They lived in Stamford until 1648, and then they moved to Fairfield until Thomas died in 1655. Or was Alice's remains moved to Fairfield?
