Both Franklin Norton and his wife Emily were lost at sea so this may just be a memory stone. The records at Cedar Hill cemetery in Port Jefferson record this and they may have another memory stone there.
Husband of Emily Asenath Norton and father of Franklin Budd, Willis Dale, and Louis Grant Van Brunt.
In 1865, Franklin A. Van Brunt, aged 32, was living in Brookhaven, NY, with his wife, Emily A. Van Brunt, aged 32, with children, Franklin B. Van Brunt, aged 6, Willis D. Van Brunt, aged 5, and Louis G. Van Brunt, aged 1. Also living in the household was servant, Alice Oaks, aged 12. Franklin was shown to be a seaman.
"A dispatch from Holyhead, Chester County, received in Liverpool E., 26th inst. reports that an American vessel is ashore on the coast near the mouth of the river Dee. She is a schooner, and is supposed to be the C.C. Colgate from Liverpool bound to New York. The schooner is a total wreck. No one has been seen on board, and its believed that all hands are lost. {Schr. C.C. Colgate, Van Brunt, cleared at Philadelphia 16th May for Liverpool via Richmond, Va."
"The American Schooner, C.C. Colgate, before reported wrecked, was spoken on Monday last off the Isle of Man. She acquired no assistance and would probably be able to make harbor. The reports of the loss of her crew are not confirmed."
"The Schooner C.C. Colgate- Letters have been received in this city from the Captain of the Schooner C.C. Colgate, dated Holyhead, August 29th, in which he announces his safe arrival on that date for a harbor. His vessel received no damage whatever. He states that the bark ashore in the river Dee had twenty-nine persons on board, all of whom were lost."
(Note: Alice A. Jayne, aged 16, is buried in the Nelson Norton Family Plot at Cedar Hill Cemetery, shown also lost at sea with the Van Brunt family. All were shown buried in January 1869.)
