Mary (Paine) Freeman is the daughter of Bennet Paine (1716). Mary's children Barnabas Freeman (1736) and Marcy Freeman (1736) are buried in marked graves near their grandmother Bennet Paine.
The three footstone fragments in the bottom photo were found near the headstone in July 2000. They are delaminated so there are no markings but they most likely belong to Mary Freeman. The three fragments were kept in Town Hall for a few years and then they were set directly behind the Mary Freeman headstone.
