Tombstone Tuesday - WOODRUFF of Connecticut

In this Southington, Hartford Co., Connecticut cemetery, I have several families buried here.  Today, I will post photos of my Woodruff family.

Fortunately, I had some help in locating the below stones, as it is a large cemetery.  Through my initial use of the Hale Collection, see copy below, I was able to determine two of my Woodruffs were buried in Section 6, and the broken Woodruff stone, I am assuming he/she/they are those of the original settlers (shown in second photo).

Samuel Woodruff and Rebeckah Clark Woodruff were my 7th great-grandparents.
Samuel was born: on August 26, 1661, in Farmington, Hartford Co., Connecticut
He died: January 08, 1742, Southington, Hartford Co., Connecticut
Samuel and his wife, Rebeckah had a son Daniel, his stone is below.
Daniel was my 6th great-grandfather.
Daniel was born: on November 02, 1696, in Farmington, Hartford Co., Connecticut
He died: on April 12, 1785, in Southington, Hartford Co., Connecticut
Daniel's wife was Lydia Smith, and I couldn't locate her stone, although she is listed in the Hale Collection (see below).
