George D. NOYES, first child, infant son of Cyrus NOYES and his wife Bridget Gallup DENISON lived only 24 days.
The Denison genealogy says he was born and died in April 1844 but this gravestone says he died May 24, 1844 aged 24 days.

Shubael5BROWN, (Jedediah4, [Jr.], Jedediah3, John2, Thomas1 ) father of Roxana BROWN (who was the wife of John BURROWS) and father of Mary P. BROWN, was born 5 Oct 1758 in Stonington. He was the husband of Lydia PALMER. They married 16 March 1785. He died 18 Aug 1806 in Stonington.
The Genealogy records of the Palmer family give a different date of their marriage, which as a reader points out does not "fit" with the dates of the children's births. There is a birth record for Shubael but no marriage record in the Barbour Index of Vital Records of CT.
"In memory of/Mr. Shubael Brown/who died/Aug. t 18th 1806, /in the 47th year/of his age./"
Shubael and Lydia were the parents of 6 children:
Philura [b. 1787], Nancy [b. 1790], Polly [b. 1794], Roxana [b. 1798], Shubael [b. 1700] and Betsey [b. 1801]

This is a photograph of my grandfather, Evans Stewart. He loved to have me sit in his lap and listen to him read to me.
My very first book, inscribed to me for my second birthday was an Audubon Bird Guide. Grandpa and I would watch the birds from his favorite spot in the dining room.
My grandmother, upon meeting my husband, was overcome. She said he looked so much like Evans and she gave me this photo.
She was right.
Evans is buried behind the large Denison stone with his wife, Hannah Josephine Barber, his son Evans Stewart, Jr. and his brother Dudley W. Stewart. His father, Charles and grandfather Dudley are buried nearby.
In this photograph, please observe the variety of sizes of gravestones. Smaller gravestones are mostly children or young persons who have died and in some time periods, large monuments meant the family was well to do or important in the community.
Some of the largest single gravestones are reserved for the clergy who are buried in a plot like this as the inscription is often lengthy and ornate.
