Did you find a 'better' way to read these sontes, Midge?osgeut
The RI vital record helped with the actual dates and his Rev War pension record confirmed.
I have a pamphlet from the Association of Gravestone students that helps with the way the numerals are carved and how weather makes them appear incorrect.
Sometimes I have to actually feel the stones to "read" them. A rubbing would be helpful, but that's a big No-No nowadays.
