Wm. Giles
Died
May 13,1858,
Ag'd 94 (91 on monument) Y'rs.
4 M. & 18 D.

He said that he was chief gunner in Col. John Crane's Regt., 3d Mass. Art., Capt. Wm. Treadwell's Co., and was discharged in '81. He also gave his age as 63 in 1820, which differs widely from that on the stone. He had no real estate, but his goods were worth $41.60, and his debts were $40; so he was a little ahead. Of his three children the son was aged 21, and the daughters 14 and 16. The roll assigns him to Whately, Mass., in 1780, enlisting under Lieut. Jackson for 6 months in Col. Crane's regiment, but he also served in other regiments later. He was of ruddy complexion and 5 feet 4 inches high. Another of the name is on record from Whately, and may be the same.
