Revolutionary War soldier. This inscribed fieldstone was found at the north end of the row of Petty family stones. On the 1942 transcript of this cemetery it was noted that these stones were moved from the nearby Rodham Petty family cemetery in the 1930s because it was too close to the river. Although the fragment with the name was not found, the dates match those for Rodham Petty on the old transcript.
