926 Probably in memory of Edward Wigglesworth, one of the original settlers in 1638, who d. Oct. 1, 1653, aged 49, leaving wid. Esther. There are two stones (headstone and footstone) with identical inscriptions, though on one the date has been altered to 16578; probably the last figure was in both inscriptions originally "3." The doubtful date is perhaps owing to a tradition that the regicide Edward Whalley was buried here; it is, however, now known that he died in Hadley, Mass., in 1674 or 5.
