Tombstone Tuesday -- John Plimpton (1708-1756) in Vine Lake Cemetery, Medfield, Mass.

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 6th great-grandfather, John Plimpton (1708-1756) in Vine Lake Cemetery in Medfield, Massachusetts:

The inscription from the photograph is:

In Memory

ton who Died
