Heavy lichen growth was removed from this fieldstone October 2004 to reveal the above inscription. The fieldstone was raised up for the bottom photo.

Barnabas is the son of Samuel Freeman (1751) and Mary (Paine) Freeman (1770). Barnabas died October 8, 1736 at age 3. His fieldstone marker is very similar in lettering and inscription format to the fieldstone marker of his sister Marcy Freman who died a month later on November 5, 1736. Marcy's stone is next to Barnabas. Barnabas is the grandson of Bennet Paine (1716).

In the 1976 survey this fieldstone at Location 35 was attributed to Ben Paine (1716). The cleaning October 2004 revealed this stone displays Barn Freman not Ben Paine.
