The inscription information is from a survey done about 1875 by Josiah Paine of Harwich. The inscription format is approximate. The gravestone was not found in the surveys of 1904 and 1976.

In August 2005 two slate pieces were uncovered next to the nineth granite post in the north fence as shown in the left photo above. Note the bittersweet roots growing through the slate. In June 2006 the pieces were set in place one behind the other in the area where they were found. These remnants most likely are from the headstone of Jabez Snow because they were found in the same general area as the gravestone for Rev Samuel Treat (d1716/17)

Jabez Snow was the husband of Elizabeth (Treat) Snow (d1755) who was buried in Bridge Road Cemetery probably because Cove Burying Ground was about full in 1755. Rev. Samuel Treat in Cove was the father of Elizabeth Snow.
