"In Memory of Mrs. Yetmercy Howland ye Wife of Mr. Nathaniel Howland Decd. August ye 8th. 1737. in ye 24th Year of her Age", and she was buried at East Burial Ground in Bristol, Bristol County, Rhode Island Colony.[6] Intriguingly, the Howland coats of arm was engraved at the upper part of her gravestone, retaining much original design of Howland coats of arm that was granted in 1584 by Queen Elizabeth, beginning with Bishop Richard Howland in Peterborough, England. The original design of Howland coats of arms did have two black bars below three black rampant lions at the top on a silver shield that perfectly matched the design of Howland coat of arms on her gravestone. Unfortunately, her two gravestones have deteriorated quickly and sustained much damage, but apparently they were violently displaced since 2002. Her original gravestone was located at East Burial Ground in Bristol, Bristol County, Rhode Island. The replica of her gravestone was located at the area of Jabez Howland House in Plymouth, Plymouth County, Rhode Island.
