Notice her initials (TG) under the cherub, making
the cost of the stone even greater than normal.

His daughter Apphia by Mercy Woodbridge married Benjamin Kent in Suffield and they named a son Ruggles Kent, a name which survived through several generations, three of which are buried in West Springfield.
Life is a bubble quickly broke
A tale forgot as soon as spoke
A shadow changing with the sun
Which spreads it self and then is gone.
