John Gray and family

It has been some time since I went to the graveyard to document some more graves and I took Peeblesshire Monumental Inscriptions - pre 1855, by Sheila A Scott with me to find some of the gravestones she mentions and that I hadn't seen yet myself. I found several today and for the one above I'm also indebted to the book for the full text as it's been eroded by wind and weather and some parts were very difficult to decifer. Here is the inscription:

Sacred

to the memory

of John Gray late overseer

Whim who died April 1794 Aged

50 years. And of Jean White

his wife who died April 1819 Aged

67 years. And of Ann Gray their

daughter who died September 1821

Aged 28 years. And of Rachel

and Jean who died in infancy.

Also  William died Brimmershall estate St Mary's

Jamaica on 16th November 18?? aged 40

being absent 20 years from Scotland.

A blessed eternity we hope

with God in heaven to spend

where congregations never break up

and Sabbath never ends

Erected

as a tribute of gratitude to

his parents by John Gray overseer

Barrock Lodge county Cumberland

Apparently there was more text that has now disappeared below ground and according the Sheila A Scott's book it said: John Tweedie their grandson, died 4th March 1830 aged 14.
