    This is not where one would expect to find him buried. However, this burial is next to that of his daughter Elizabeth and her husband, Rev. Jonathan Todd. The inscription, as read for the Hale Collection, is consistent with his dying between 12 May and 3 December 1739. Possibly he died on a visit to his daughter (and also his granddaughter, Abigail (Crane) Todd, wife of Jonathan's brother Timothy).
