Inscription

This is not the marker for Thomas Parsons, I believe it to be that of George Scott Parsons (22 Jan 1837 - 27 Apr 1862. The cemetery book gives him as the son of Thos. & P. (Thomas & Phoebe) and his age at death 25 y 3m 5 days. The part of the stone that was under ground concurs with the 25y 3m. Go to Memorial #82444281. That is most likely Thomas Parsons (25 Dec 1797 - 22 Dec 1852).
