With a detailed map, a photo copied from flickr, what more did I need? The old cemetery is located in Boston, I've been there many times, and have known for at least 10 years that Roger Clap was buried there. So why couldn't I find his grave? The answer will surprise you.
Boston, Massachusetts
King's Chapel photos.
Shot of some stones from the church cemetery. Once home, I enlarged it, and saw Roger Clap's name on the stone.

Joanna Ford
Born: June 8, 1619, England
Died: June 29, 1695, Boston, Suffolk Co., Massachusetts
Map provided by the Church, Roger is in the third line from the bottom, where the dark circle is. I couldn't locate the stone because I was using the photo below as my guide, hunting for a crooked stone.
You can see, the photographer was the problem!

Too funny, Barbara. I'd have loved to see your face when you saw your photograph and realized what had happened..
Susan, I yelled for my husband to come over and see it, we couldn't believe it. Thanks for your comment.
Oh wow, that's one of the earliest versions of the "death head" that was in use in this country...
Great photos!
Wow, Barbara!
