What you see in the left side of the picture is the grave of
Isaac and Hannah.
The top picture is of the stone in the distance in the wall, as it looks when you are on the sidewalk in front of the cemetery. The bottom picture is a close up of the stone. This stone is placed in the wall where Hannah & Isaacs grave is directly on the oppisite side of the stones. The inscription is quite worn.

I was recently told that some compasionate families with money during the Revolutionary war buried unknown Soldiers in their family plots. There was also a reference to a poem about the bodies of unknown soldiers titled "MY BROTHER".

***note...to the left of the grave of William Arnett should be the grave of Sarah Stockton, d. Dec 3 179?, aged 9. She was the Granddaughter of Isaac & Hannah Arnett by their daughter Sarah & her husband Benjamin Stockton. Apparently her headstone was destroyed and removed.
