o_o This is uber vintage business, right here. If I can ask: were there burials, deaths or parish records that assigned this stone to being Priscilla's? All that I can make out clearly on it is 'P.C.' and her date of death.

It's impressive that what even does survive over three-and-a-half centuries of time passing since she, her husband and others of her time were interred. Thank you for sharing your explorations with us here!

The page for the Newman Cemetery on the site findagrave.com is very useful as far as positive IDs for old stones that have only initials, of which there are many (it's the oldest cemetery in the state).

So it's even an online record! That's even better than a written record (which by now would be on the very old side, even if preserved properly), and at least as long as a hard drive or optical disc backup can survive past copying or writing, it gives it a bit more leg-distance than a vellum & ink record of that vintage (or even a copy made a century later, which would still be old in our times). It's thoroughly fascinating to consider that the person's remains who are buried there have not seen the grave's sod turned in three-hundred and fifty years. Who else in such a long time has stood on that soil, and whose descendants might be alive now, perhaps unaware that their distant ancestor's grave is still marked and kept?

I have trouble enough considering sometimes that I've been alive for more than forty years. To manage distances of time in my head in centuries is still very difficult for me. ^_^

Again, thank you for sharing in keeping the record of graves and persons like Priscilla's!
