Daughter of Jonathan Palmer and Mercy Mainwaring. Married Jonathan Shepard 23 Dec 1736 in Stonington, New London, CT. They had 10 children. Love Palmer Shepard petitioned CT Superior courts probably in county of New London for divorce on the grounds of "abuse" and "fear for life". The divorce was granted 27 Aug 1764 to Jonathan Shepard who claimed "desertion". Jonathan married Mary "Polly" Underwood 31 Jan 1765 Sandisfield, Berkshire, Massachusetts. Love married 2nd unknown Hearick. The surname on the gravestone is hard to decipher but clear in the close up.
I suggest a close look at the headstone decoration. It's almost portrait like. A feminine sleeping face, peaceful with a halo of soft hair and flowers flanking. There is a distinct lack of a skull, weeping willow, urns or angel's wings. The sides of the gravestone have a beautiful diamond boarder. This is a loving tribute!
