Palisado Cemetery
Windsor, Hartford Co., Connecticut
Ephraim Huit is my 9th great-grandfather times 2, because I descend through his two daughters, Lydia and Mary.
"Here Lyeth Ephraim Hvit. Sometimes Teache'r to ye chvrch of Windsor who died September 4, 1644. Who when hee Lived we drew ovr vitall breath. Who when hee died his dying was our death. Who was ye stay of State ye churches Staff. Alas the time forbid an Epitaph." Ephraim died September 4, 1644. Per FindAGrave.com FindAGrave.com "Regarded as the oldest gravestone in Connecticut and is one of the oldest readable stones in the US. The gravestone is in remarkable condition."
