Departed this life March ye 15th
the year of our lord 1765 aged 22
Farwell my wife and child most dear
I am not dead but sleeping here
My life is spent my grave you see
my loving wife mourn not for me
. My mother and Sister too
For now I have bid this world a dew
as I am so you must be steay
but awile and follow me
