Inscription

A note from Dave Jenkins:

I found the following at the Plympton Historical Commission website:

R1-P7-S5
Benjamin Fuller, son of Abial & Annis, his wife, May 26, 1724, in his 16th year.
Abial Fuller died April 20, 1720, in his 42nd year.

This was from a 1979-80 grave marker study by Charles H. Bricknell of Plympton's Old "Burying Place" a/k/a Hillcrest. It appears Abial is buried there - I'm presuming a separate marker.
