Inscription
[Individual gravestone]
Here lies Interr'd
the Remains of
Capt. JOSEPH WRIGHT
Who Departed this
Life Septemb'r ye 10th
Anno Domi. 1755
In the 87th year
of his Age.
Based on his recorded singular date of birth in Wethersfield, Conn. (Feb. 14, 1669), on the day Joseph died he was 86 years old, and Ætatis suæ (i.e., Æ, "Aged," in the XX year of his Age) 87. This indicates he was properly b. on Feb. 14, 1669/70, as the former old Julian calendar date in use when Joseph was born is historically written in the modern Gregorian calendar.
