Comment	from the diary of Rev. Ezra Stiles 30 Apr 1772: "Rode to Providence; visited the grave of the famous Mr. Roger Williams (once the Pastor of Salem) there is no inscribed stone or monument at the grave. He was buried about ten rods back from the spring in the main street called Williams' Spring to this day; nigh to which I saw the spot where the house stood. His grave is on the side of the hill in the lot adjoyning the 14 acre lot lately purchased by the Congregational Church for a parsonage it is I should judge 20 or 25 rods south east from the Church of England."
