(The following information was received from Everett A. Rockwell, son of Ellbridge (Rockwell, son of John A. or Almon J Rockwell.)
My Grandfather, first named John Almon, which he later changed to Almon John is believed, by some, to have moved to Maine, USA in his youth. This I do not believe. I think he came to Maine about 1880 soon after his first wife, Francise Lorin, died. There, in Moro, Maine, he married his second wife, Nancy Stockford Prosser, a widow who was born in 1837 and died in May 1887. Almon John died, and was buried in Moro, Maine in 1893, two years after I was born. I have visited his burial place many times. By his first wife Almon John had nine children, and by his second wife he had four sons. "

Inscription
"Lo on a narrow neck of land,
Twixt two unbounded seas I stand.
Yet how insensible a point of time a moments space,
Removes me to yon heavenly place or shuts me up in hell."
