In the name of the Lord our God, Amen,
I, Betty Creighton, now in pain and fearing my days are nearly spent, make this last will and testament. Though weak in body yet sound in mind as e'er a Solomon left behind.
first I desire two earthly crust
May decently be laid in dust, and let some stone point out the spot, where Betty Creighton lies to rot and to defray the cast thus told my negress fanny must be sold next to Betty Hunter my friend so strue, I leave the remaining residue;
Also my household furniture -
Though I must confess its gift is poor; For she must take on her the trouble
to see me laid beneath the stubble
Next is old Mary Ann Denoon
(although they'll follow very soon)
I leave my house and lot of land and stock, the whole at
her command.
"Old James Denoon" and his son James jointly Executor I do appoint
Of my last will this is the whole,
So God above receive my soul.

Within these wall are deposited the Bodies of
Mrs. BETTY STIVEN and her child. She was the beloved wife
of ALEX STIVEN who to the end of his days will
deplore her death, which happened upon the 25th day
of November 1783 in the 23rd year of her age was
remarkable of her she was a mother without knowing it,
and a wife without letting her husband know it, except
by her kind indulgences to him.
........................................
On the northern horn of the beautiful bay of Plymouth which lies on the north coast of Tobago are to be seen the ruins of what was once the substantial residence of president SCOTT It is still said that if he had not retired when he did from the Government Service he would surely have been made Governor of the Island. But when told this he always answered that his house was as good as Government House and in it he would sooner rest than work in Government House.
In the grounds of this ruined house, and some ten or twelve yards from the western wall, lie buried in a substantial vault the remains of his favourite daughter and her new born child. Although the vault is scarcely recognisable from the ruins and rubbish which cover it, the top is in a fair state of preservation and as will be seen from the inscription is not without interest. To some people it presents a little puzzle; to others it is full of romantic sentiment. The stone which has worn remarkably well is of a fine quality slate, such as is commonly used for the roofs of vaults and mural tablets. It measures six feet eight inches long, three feet four inches broad, and is five inches thick with a half inch level round the upper edge. Considering its age and the use to which the sorrowing husband put it in the first instance it seems a great pity that it should be allowed to lie in the state of neglect in which it is at present.

Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to everything. Do you have any points for novice blog writers? I'd certainly appreciate it.
