Notes/Misc Details
NotesThis stone was found in April 1990 in Toledo, Ohio. Henry Gavin was digging a foundation to build a tool shed when he unearthed the stone. It has since been returned to the Pettaquamscutt Historical Society and, in 1995, it was reset in the cemetery. Her husband, Col. Thomas, was buried in Waterford, CT. The tang of the stone is broken off, so it is set very low. The broken off bottom of the foot stone was found in the burial ground while the headstone was being reset. ###
