Name: Marcy Eliot
Location: Taunton, MA
Date: 1758
Carver: Peter Barker
A website for the Walker-Blake graveyard in Taunton had this to say about Barker:
"His birth and death dates are unknown. He was probably from Connecticut. No study has been done on Peter Barker. For someone whose work is completely basic and crudely amateurish, his stones are scattered the length of Connecticut, in parts of Rhode Island and on into southeastern Massachusetts. All this suggests he was a poor itinerant carver, moving from town to town, producing a cheap product on whatever local, unfinished stone he could find."
EDIT: I've replaced the original pic with a better-lit one from 2024. Enjoy.~
