It stands next to that of Ben Lefferts. After the date of Mary’s death, her age is given, but in a most odd manner. She died in her 99th or 44th year. The ‘99’ and the ‘44’ were egraved in the stone, one over the other, the numerals covering each other, but each set as clear and distinct as though cut yesterday. What her age was is not easily deduced. Mary was probably Ben’s wife. If so, she was eight years his senior, or forty-seven years his junior.) Polhemus Daniel I., d. Jun 2, 1831, aged 71y 1m 4d Polhemus Elizabeth, wife of Daniel I., d. Oct 23, 1815, aged 49y 4m 20d Polhemus Catherine, wife of Daniel T., d. Jul 20, 1797, in her 21st y.

(This stone stands between that of John, Jr., and that of Daniel, son of Tobias. The remainder of the inscription appears to have been cut away purposely, probably with a steel instrument. Holes a half inch or more in depth pit the surface in the places where the lettering once was. Elsewhere, the stone is perfect.) Polhemus Daniel, son of Tobias, d. Jan 12, 1772, aged 7y Polhemus Jane, dau of Tobias, d. Nov 26, 1771, aged 2y 4m 6d Polhemus Nelley, dau of John and Mary, d. Jul 24, 1777, aged 3y 2m 14d Polhemus Cyrenius, son of John and Mary, d.
