    1. [CTNEWLON-L] Re: Burial of THOMAS MINER b. 1608 d.1690
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Miner, Palmer Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XZ.2ADE/1477.1.1 Message Board Post: Howard is certainly correct. Thomas Miner is buried in the Wequetequock Cemetery. Who ever asked first about this I can tell you where it is in Stonington and give you much more information about the area and cemetery but it is best to email me personally. This is the area where some of the first settlers had their homes. I have seen the site. He is buried under a large wolfstone with his name carved on one side and his wife's Grace Palmer's carved on the other. I have an early 1930's photo of the wolf stone taken by my greatuncle, Roy Miner, that I can scan and send to the person who wants to know about it. The carving shows up very well. I also have more recent colored photos but the day was rainy so they are not the brightest. Someone in Stonington has a CD-ROM for sale listing the graves at the Denison, Wequetquock, and Old Taugwonk cemeteries and this service is mentioned under Library Notes in the Bulletin of the Stonington Historical Society's, "Historical Foo! tnotes," for Aug. 2002. If you email me I will give you his name and address. Gwenda Malnati
