David, who was born 8th February, 1747, O.S.

He served his Master

Wm. Richardson

Faithfully through the Revolutionary

War and up to 1786, and after

that his Master's widow &

eight children with the same

fidelity to January 1835 -

When faithful David died in peace.

Near him lies Binah his aged wife

who also served the same family well,

for nearly the same time.

Their example has been good & profitable

on the Plantation & we pray them Heaven -

W.T. White, Stone Maker.
 
 

Honest Jack

Died: 15 May A.D. 1848, aged 77 tears.

This trustworthy servant was the friend of his

owner & watched his interest as if his own.

Ever thifty yet sparing to himself. He left

86 dollars laid up from time to time for his

widow - Sally - & their children.

Condemn not his example in a lowly agent, High

& low in this world are terms of human note:

But, not to him with whom nothing is great, the

nothing insignificant. To all men then must not

this be the important question. Have the duties

of life as assigned to each station by Providence,

been conscientiously discharged.
