This plot is located in a beautiful spot but has no enclosure.  It is not well 
cared for, although with one exception, the marble stones are well preserved.  
There are a number of graves here that have no markers.

There is another tombstone which is so badly broken that the inscription is 
gone.  However the footstone has the initials “R.H.” on it.  As this stone is 
beside the one whose inscription is noted above, it seems probable that this is 
the grave of Richard Hughes, Esq.
