Inscription
Philip Lightfoot,
Son of John Lightfoot, Esq.
Barrister at Law, son of John*
Lightfoot, Minister of Stoke
Bruain in Northamptonshire
*"The tomb of the first Philip Lightfoot, is, however, wrong in stating that John Lightfoot, the father of the Virginia immigrant, was son of "John Lightfoot, minister of Stoke Bruain." In Berry's History of Northamptonshire, a list of ministers of that parish is given, and the name Richard Lightfoot appears in proper order. There was no other minister of Stoke Bruerne of the name of Lightfoot." page 410
