In 1965 my class visited our state capital and I got to sit in the wishing chair which is made from the wood of the Charter Oak. I wished for a bicycle and a couple of months later I got one. It works!

appreciate your share was having problem with audio

As an Englishman I found comedy in your pronounciation of Warwickshire lol but found this interesting nevertheless.

Graves don't survive they just multiply..

He was short little dude.

Proves when your dead,.... your dead.

Hewitt is my grandfather!

Sorry but thatgrave monument is 19thc. Box tombs of this type are late 18thc /19th century. Also the supposedly 17thc inscription is in fact 19thc copy. Probably 1860 to 1880. The font set is typical of those trying to recreate the romantic past. Not unusual for the Victorian period. Arts and craft movement for instance. The 1812 inscription dates the box tomb. I'm a archaeologist and have seen thousands of 17thc gravestones and this is just a rehashed fantasy. Sorry to be that person who destroyed your video. It doesn't take away from the genuine social history of this person. The question is where is the oldest original readable grave in Connecticut. Your quest is back on....

WOW! Great work......

Great 👍 history.

Please tell us what it says on the monument; both sides. Thank you.

I have been to this site with my dad when he was researching our Allen family tree. I was fascinated by it because the tombstones were so old. These were some of the first settlers in CT. I believe one of our relatives is buried there, Bathsheba. After they received a grant to the "Connecticut Reserve" which the deed described as worthless swampland south of Cleveland, the whole family left CT for OH and the family tree continued. But my father believed that we were originally from Warwickshire, England.

I'm fascinated by the historical significance of old cemeteries. To put things in perspective, Thomas Grey's 'Elegy In a Country Churchyard' makes for a very interesting read....

Why the hell am I watching this.

Oldest KNOWN gravestone, of a white man.

Is the body buried in the ground, like we would normally expect, or just underneath and behind the stone? If in the ground, what is inside the stone? Is it hollow or is it solid?

It’s pronounced Waricksher. Not that anyone asked.

This is Great ty very much

My question is what gravestones are older in the US?

“Surviving grave”

I believe that the headstone was carved by Clark Griswold of Chicago.

FYI Warwickshire is pronounced Worickshire (viewer from the UK )

Absolutely fascinating! I love New England church history! Puritan heritage is fascinating!

Surprised he hasn’t been cancelled or erased ?

Surviving? Methinks you could use a different word

Notice how the engraving is protected by, what is essentially a roof which has an overhang to protect the engraving.

War-Wick-Shyer. Pronounced 'Worrick-shear' correctly.

Too much wind boo

There is a 1648 grave, also in us here in yt. The will be the second oldest grave after this one.

In another 400 years it most likely won't be there , they will have to make room for all new graves, anyone who purchased a grave including myself ,literally threw the money away to Blood Suckers who work at the cemeteries who coned them , out of their hard earned money.

I remember when a storm took down an old tree in the old burying grounds in Hartford. The grounds crew went to do a clean up and found a box with 2 dueling pistol flintlocks where the stump pulled out. It made the front page of the Hartford Courant. Old graveyards hold secrets!!

Very interesting 🤔. Thanks!

I appreciate that producing this video was a grave undertaking.

I live in Texas and worked for a company headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut and was amazed at some of the very old and still very legible gravestones in cemeteries in and around the city. Nothing like that where I live.

I wish you would’ve read the epitaph….

Thank you for this. Local history is as fascinating as world event history.

You absolutely butchered the pronunciation of Warwickshire

Wow, so interesting!!!

Native Indian bones r already blessed.

It is war rick shire

Headstone needs to be properly preserved..

There are many stones in Groton that are fully legible. I'm trying to find them.

Is it an above ground grave or just a big elaborate tombstone cause for a above ground crypt it has really held up

Great gravestones in CT, Did a ton of walking in Cheshire
