Tombstone Tuesday -- Humphrey White (1757-1814) in Acotes Hill Cemetery, Glocester, R.I.

I have collected a number of gravestone photographs from my own camera and from Find A Grave memorials over many years, and thought I would share them one at a time for Tombstone Tuesday.

Here is the gravestone of my 4th great-grandfather, Humphrey White (1757-1814) in Acotes Hill Cemetery in Glocaster, Rhode Island:


The inscription says:
Humphrey White

1757-1814

The source citation for this gravestone is:

Find a Grave, database and images (https://www.findagrave.com : accessed 9 June 2020), memorial page for Humphrey White (1757–1814), Find a Grave Memorial no. 80231179, citing Acotes Hill Cemetery, Glocester, Providence County, Rhode Island, USA ; Maintained by Bobbi Lynn (contributor 47031746) .



Thank you to Bobbi Lynn for creating this Find A Grave memorial and to Bobbi for taking the photograph.

It looks like this Humphrey White stone has been broken and repaired.


Humphrey and Sibel (Kirby) White are my 4th great-grandparents.  Humphrey White (1757-1814) was the son of Jonathan and Abigail (Wing) White of Dartmouth, Massachusetts.  He married Sibel Kirby (1764-1848) in 
1786 in Dartmouth, Mass.  They had 10 children including Jonathan White (1803-1850), my 3rd great-grandfather, who married Miranda Wade (1804-1850).


A biographical sketch for Humphrey White is in
