In ye 67th year of his age. 3) In Memory of Mrs. Deborah widow of John DeCamp. She died Nov. the 1st, 1793. In the 67th year of her age. 4) In Memory of Dr. Gideon DeCamp Who departed this life Dec. 18th 1815. Age 71 years, 10 months, 23 days. END Although I cannot vouch for the accuracy of these transcripts, they were taken by the DAR in 1926, so I believe them to be exact. An examination of the stones would be worthwhile to verify. Keep in mind that they are on private property and the owner's permission would be necessary. Would't it be nice if someone took photos of the stones for the Genealogical Society of the Westfields' files? Best regards, David Kane Nashville TN
