Per the Westford Museum, "According to one account the first Europeans to reach Westford were part of an expedition led by Prince Henry Sinclair, of Scotland. This voyage would have reached the New World in about 1400 A.D. The "Westford Knight" would then be a grave marker for one of the expedition who died near-by. The carvings can be seen as a picture of the Knight, complete with sword."

Hi Barbara. Your post came up as a "Google Alert" in my inbox today. I recently wrote a novel about the Westford Knight, "Cabal of the Westford Knight." I've posted some images of it and related sites on my blog if you're interested. http://westfordknight.blogspot.com/
If you go to see the site, go on a day/time the library is open so you can see the Boat Stone also.

David, thank you very much for writing. In a few minutes I will check out your blog. Also, I am excited that you found me through a "google alert" as I use them a lot in doing genealogy research, but it is the first time, anybody found me! I live rather close to the Knight, and am looking forward in seeing it. I hope people who read this, also see that you wrote a novel and check out your site. Thank you.
Hi Barbara, I just discovered your blog when Tom started his "New England" list for Geneabloggers. I'm a new blogger, too, and the Westford Knight was one of my first blogs back in September. I drive by there a lot (today, too, in fact) but never stopped until I decided that it would make a good blog topic! I'm going to spend tonight looking at the rest of your blog.
Thanks Heather. You must live in the area. I will look at your blog too.
