• Notes

  Carleton family Cemetery stone: IN MEMORY OF BETSEY CARLETON---WILLIAM CARLETON BORN JUNE 28, 1790---BORN NOV. 18, 1780 DIED AUG. 31, 1866---DIED MAR. 4, 1841 AE. 76 Y'S 2 M'S----AE. 60 Y'S 3 M'S & 3 D'S-----------& 16D'S[:ITAL] During the War of 1812-14 he was Adjutant of the 50th Regiment. He carried on the mercantile business at the harbor until 1838, when he removed to the river, and there continued to trade. William was a very enterprising and farseeing man, and in whatever position he was placed, whether as Adjutant, County Commissioner, President of the Bank, Committee on town Accounts he discharged the duties resting on him with ability and satisfaction. There are 2 memorial stones in this cemetery for William Carleton Esq. The stone pictured here has been placed over the storage vault as a monument, no one is buried here. There has been a mistake made regarding the date on one of the stones. I beleive this stone has the incorrect date. The second stone for William can be viewed by following this link.
