  Sacred to the memory of
  WILLIAM GREGORY
  Whose body is interred here.
  He was the son of Roger and Mary Cole Gregory,
  Was bom in King William County 12th day of May 1767
  And
  Departed this life 21st day of January 1840.
  "For the Just there is a rest in Heaven."
  
  Here lie the remains of
  ANNE GREGORY,
  Who departed this life 28th of October 1841
  In the 74th year of her age.
  She was consort of
  William Gregory of King William County,
  Whose body reposes near this of his beloved wife.
  Cheerfulness, the result of innocence, always sparkled in her
  face, and by the sweetness of her temper she gained universal
  good will. Her husband enjoyed in her a dutiful wife; her
  children an indulgent mother; her servants a gentle mistress,
  and her acquaintances a faithful friend.
  
  Rest here oppressed by pale disease no more,
  Here find that calm thou sought so oft before.
  Rest undisturbed beneath this humble shrine,
  Angels awake thee with a voice like thine.
