    'I visited the Academy Hill cemetery in Haldimand Township and photographed the new plaque that Jack was instrumental in having erected to replace the original weathered inscription.'

    The plaque says:
    'STEWART
    1780 John Stewart 1831
    1786 wife Elizabeth 1861
    1816 son Benjamin 1861'

    According to other sources, both Elizabeth and Benjamin died in 1864, not 1861 - apparently, weathering of the original tombstone led to the error in the plaque.
