It’s difficult to make out the surname on this gravestone in Rossinver Graveyard, just off the R218 in County Leitrim (54°23’46.5″N 8°07’05.3″W). I haven’t been able to find listed in a grave search any John who died in 1777.
The images below were taken in the same graveyard. All 3 were captured handheld with a macro lens.
I suppose John, lived to a good old age, for the time, 1777 . Hope he is resting in peace.
I’m sure at this time the average life span was considerably less Carole. He could never have imagined that his headstone would still exist 240 years later.
