Inscription

Possessed of philanthropic benevolence and every
social affection that could endear him to his family
and friends.
He early commenced his life in his country's cause,
with heroic patriotism and continued his services to
assert her rights in defence of liberty until
independence was secured to his native land.
And now to God his spirit soars on high:
To realms of bliss and immortality
