   Birth 1737
   Death 18 Apr 1813 (aged 75–76)
   Burial
   North Mountain Burying Ground
   Middlebrook, Augusta County, Virginia, USA
   
   The 1936 W.P.A. Historical Inventory of this cemetery by Scioto M. Herndon (online at Library of Virginia), inventoried his gravestone. It said
   "SAMUEL HUNTER
   d. Apr. 8, 1813
   76 yrs."
   
   So few are here anymore, it's wonderful this one was found.
   I believe it says:
   SAMUEL HUNTER
   died April 18th day
   1813
   Agd 76 Years
