written on the stones

, Cavendish Vt

Inscription on the smaller birth stone One this 31st of August 1754 Capt. James Johnson had a daughter born on this spot of ground being captivated with his whole family by the Indians, Mrs. Hastings wrote this verse for the smaller birth stone

"If mothers e'er should wander here, They'll drop a sympathetic tear, For her, who is the howling wild Was safe delivered of a child"

The larger stone says. "This is near the spot that the Indians encamped for the night after they took Mr. Johnson and family. Mr. Labaree & Farnsworth, Aug. 30, 1754. And Mrs. Johynson was delivered of her child half a mile up this brook.

When trouble's near the Lord is kind, He bears the captive cry, He can subdue the savage mind And learn it sympathy
