notes

Pic 1. The stone in the top photos is thought to be a footstone because it lines up next to the footstone for Deacon Samuel Freeman (d1712). Mercy (Southworth) Freeman was the wife of Deacon Samuel Freeman. This name agrees with the "M F" on the stone. It has been reported that Mercy died November 25, 1712 just five days after her husband at about age 74.
