Memo:
This group of stones may represent the work of multiple carvers. Compare to the work of Ebenezer Howard, Daniel Hastings, Moses Worster/Worcester and the carver of "Abigail Estabrook Style Stones." There is a non-specific probate payment to J___ Lamson in the estate (settled 1782) of Ebenezer Dexter, Marlborough. If the payment to Lamson was for gravestones, it appears to have been for stones for another Ebenezer Dexter.
