Name: Col John Hart
Location: Portsmouth, NH
Date: 1777
Carver: Joseph Lamson II
JL's brother John was killed fighting in the Revolution the previous year. One wonders if that was part of the motivation behind the editorializing in the inscription.
There's a second winged skull by JL in this same cemetery from 1776 on which he says something very similar!
