  	Original inscription: "J. R. aet eighty-seven, D. S. 1685". The inscription indicates that the birth year of 1598 is the correct year. Since his death the cemetery has been renamed and boundaries changed to Newman Cemetery, Providence, Rhode Island. This newer marker has the inscription John Read / Born in / Lincolnshire, England / in 1598 / Died in 1685. The script below is mostly illegible: "He and others with their pastor / ? Newman came from / Weymouth Mass. and began the / Church of ? in 1643".
