Beneath this Stone is deposited,
the Remains of
MAJOR THOMAS SEWARD,
who gallantly fought
in our late revolutionary War,
and through
its various scenes behaved
with Patriotic fortitude
& died in the calms
of domestic felicity as becomes
a Universal-Christian
Nov'r 27th 1800 AEtat 60
The lonely turf where silence lays her head
The mound where pity sighs for hon'd dead
Such is the grief where sorrow now doth sigh
To learn to live is but to learn to die.
