In Memory of
Mrs DANIEL MAYO
Consort of DANIEL MAYO

In death's cold hands a prisoner bound

In Memory of
Mr DANIEL MAYO
Consort of DANIEL MAYO
who died July 14 1800
Aged 80 yrs. & 14 days.

In death's cold hands a prisoner bound
I sleep in silence underground
Yet by the grace the gospel gives
I know that my redeemer lives
(Rich Family Assoc.)
----------------------------------------------
"Daniel, husband of Martha, died 14 July 1800, aged 86 years, 14 days."

[The transcription is noted as approximate by Capecodgravestones.com. This stone has been transcribed at least three times, with varying readings. Using the husband's given name to identify the wife would be unique in this time and place. The adjacent stone is for Martha Mayo, Daniel's widow, and mother of his children. The use of "consort" to refer to the husband is repeated with Capt. Solomon Harding's stone, 7 Feb 1800, on page 32 of the transcriptions. This matter needs another reader to clarify it, but I think the stone is pretty obviously that of Daniel Mayo. - DKew] 16 17 18
