- The only value of Find A Grave is what you can read from the gravestone (unless you find an atypical memorial that provides its sources). This one provides no sources, and the pictured crypt is so completely covered with lichen, nothing can be discerned. In fact, one would suspect the inscription on the memorial page was taken from some book (like Source:Harris, Edward Doubleday. Ancient Long Island Epitaphs from the Towns of Southold, Shelter Island, and Easthampton, New York, p. 16). The stone so covered with lichen that it is hard to believe anybody viewing it in the computer age was able to read the inscription. Thus, the data on the memorial page does not indicate its true sources, and so carries no probative value, representing unsourced genealogy. --Jrich 03:52, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for the rapid response. I knew that some discussion was needed before sourced details should be directly added to the Person page.
