A gravestone that does not appear to be the original states: 'in memory of Mr. John Safford who died Agust ye 12th 1739 in ye 67th year of his age' [i.e., at age 66]. Another image accompanying this memorial show a much older sandstone gravestone from which the newer stone may have been copied. The Hale Collection data from the 1930s is consistent with that given here.
