Captain Elisha Grey, d. 1685

E.G. This gravestone is identified as the oldest gravestone in the Bridge Street Cemetery. It is typical of stones before 1720 not to have any images and to give very brief epitaphs. It is believed to read (what is left on the stone is bold): CAPtain E. Grey (or Elisha Graves) Died May 8 1685
