General Notes: Husband - James Parker
The following was sent to me in March 2012 by Jack Parker:
Coventry Vital Records, Volume D, Page 23. Barbour Collection. Found at Connecticut State Library, Hartford Ct. Microfilm. The handwritten list on page 23 is probably a copy of earlier records made after New Style dating replaced Old Style dating in 1752.

Age
Behold and See as you pass by
the Gloomy Vault in which I Lie
prepare for Death you Shortly must
With me Lie . . .
The last part of the last line in the photo sent to me by Jack Parker is below the level of the ground. However, this is a standard verse and the last line is probably "With me Lie Mouldering in the Dust".
In "Births, Marriages, Baptisms and Deaths from the Records of the Town and Churches in Coventry, Connecticut 1711-1844" (Dimock, 1897) on page 225 in Death Records of First Church it is said that James Parker died in May 1781.
