Tombstone Tuesday -- Samuel Gray (1682-1712) Buried in Little Compton, Rhode Island

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 7th great-grandfather, Samuel Gray (1682-1712) in Old Commons Burial Ground in Little Compton, Rhode Island:

I can barely read the inscription from the photograph:

Here Lyeth Ye Body

Of Samull Gray

Aged 30 Years

And Departed This

Life May Ye 23 

1712

Samuel Gray (1682-1712) and Deborah Church (1677-1752) are my 7th great-grandparents.   Samuel was the son of Edward and Dorothy (Lettice) Gray, and Deborah was the daughter of Joseph and Mary (Tucker) Church. They married in 1699 in Little Compton, R.I., and had 7 children, including Lydia Gray (1707-????), my 6th great-grandmother, who married Joseph Ladd (1701-1748) in 1731.                              =============================================
