The gravestone of Richard Tennant son of Judith Butler....................................Update 18 July 07

The grave has been photographed several times because of doulbt over the dates. I read the date for baby Thomas as 1775 and believe the book C2L to be in error showing 1773. The date for the death of Richard is clearly as in C2L, December 3rd 1772, which means that the C2L item 16 in the "Old Register" stating that a Richard Tenant was buried Dec 10th 1771 could be either a different Richard or more likely the correct date 10th (burial a week after death) but with the wrong year quoted in C2L.
