Inscription

The three stones are for, left to right, Ashbel, Esther and Eunice Sykes. The inscription for Esther is largely illegible. Here's my guess based on what is legible plus what is reported in other sources:
Esther wife of Ashbel Sykes died June 7, 1791 in the 33rd year of her age Lie here my love awhile Death will not long divide A few more rolling years Will lay me by your side
