Grave marker
William Douglas, Jr. 1743-1811
Here rests the mortal body of Mr. William
Douglas, ESQ. who departed this life Dec. 29,
1811, in the 69th year of his age
He was one of the first settlers in this town in the year 1766, a firm friend to his country and held civil and military offices; an affectionate husband, a knd and faithful Parent, he lived universally esteemed and died equaly lamented.
Blefsed are the dead which died in the Lord
from henceforth yea saith the spirit that they may rest from their labours and their works do follow them - O death where is they sting O grave where is they victory.
He embraced and publicly profefsed the hope which
is by faith in JESUS CHRIST. He was an unshaken believer in the doctrines of grace. In gospel duties he was faithful. In prosperity he was humble, in adversity, patient, and in death, resigned.
(spelled as it appears)

The grave of my 5th great grandfather.
