Transcription of tombstone for Leverett Hammond, son of Lemuel & Lydia Hammond, died October 2, 1832, aged 1 year, 1 month
19 Information about the burials at Constantine Cemetery.   I do not know who wrote it or when.  It matches the handwriting of Aramintha Hammond in her 3 page family history letter.   But these facts are not on the tombstone, which leads me to believe that she would have written these for more information for her descendants.  Note that there is no death date for Aramintha, while there is for all the others.
