Not Yet Identified
This distinctive effigy can be found in at least three historical graveyards on Long Island so far. As of yet, I have not found any references to identify the carver of these stones. The material used appears to be sandstone, a variety that appears highly susceptible to erosion. I have used the app iDStretch to provide contrasts that may make the stones easier to read. Feel free to email me with a stone carver ID.

This stone is included because it is made of the same material as the rest, but as it is missing the iconography, it may not belong in this grouping.
