[Note: there is a duplicate memorial with a picture of the same gravestone and an accurate transcription on the memorial page, but still giving the wrong death date, the wrong age, and an apparently non-authoritative birth date of unknown basis.]

Children of Andrew Burley and Mary Conant: Mary, b. 28 Apr 1696, pub. 28 Sep 1706 to Samuel Adams.
[Note: clearly this is wrong since Mary did not marry at age 10. The author has given the birth date of sister Martha. Mary's birth was not recorded.]
