Inscription:

Born Not To Fortune, Reared In Turbulent Times, Without The Schools. His Life Was An Illustration Of Practical Wisdom, Dying Full Of Years. Respected And Beloved, He Bequeathed To His Children With Large Wealth An Unspotted Name. Under Smiles Of Providence, His Industry, Priority And Sagacity, Secured To Him The Amplest Means, In Dispensing Which He Often Exercised The Kindly Qualities Of His Nature; Bestowing On Others The Blessing Of Education, Which Circumstances Had Denied To Him; Aiding The Earnest Efforts Of Obscure Worth, And Affording Grateful Relief. Moulding Many Incidents Of A Long Life, And Mark'd Among The Strong Points Of A Decided Character, Were His Spirit Of Independence And His Love Of Country.
