Finally got the Charles Chauncey Wells Book!



Well, I gave up on the library and ordered the book from Amazon. I was ordering a few other books anyway, so I just broke down and spent the $19.95 for it. I found Joseph Grammer, Date 1806/10/11, Conditions (of stone) “sun, soi, ms” = sunken, soiling, mower scars, Location W-68. His stone must be one of the stones that fell and were damaged, because it is along the stone wall on the Charter Street side, according to the map. This photo is the general location. I will be in Boston several times in October, so I plan to make another trip to the cemetery to see if I can find the stone and if it is at all readable. I might try to make a rubbing, depending on if it is readable, if rubbings are not banned and if there is any security around to catch me. I am still reading the book, so there may be more family history in it, such as one name that jumped right out at me was Susannah Gray, died 1798. I know there are Grays in the family, so I will check to see if she is one of them.
