Inscription

Hale Cemetery Database - Old Scotland Cemetery, if that is actually where he is interred.
"Bingham, Capt. Samuel, d. Mar. 1, 1760, age 73."

However, based on his recorded date of birth, on the day Samuel d. he was 74 years old, and "Ætatis suæ" (i.e., Æ, "Aged," in the XX year of his Age) 75, latter the numerical "age" presumed inscribed on his gravestone.
