Headstones | ![]() | William Wells gravestone. Charles Wells Hayes comments: "In the old Burial Ground of Southold, near the edifice (Presbyterian) which occupies the site of the first meeting house, and not more than ten or twelve yards from the west end of the Cemetery, is the tomb of William Wells, a substantial, structure of brick and covered with cement, and now (1876) after the lapse of two centuries, in perfect preservation, thanks to the reverent care of his descendant in the sixth generation, the late William H. Wells, of Southold. The top of the tomb is a single slab of dark brown stone, five feet by two and a half, and four or five inches in thickness, completely filled by the curious inscription, a facsimile of which is here given, photographed from the rubbing taken by me Oct. 13, 1875." |
