Description

Bronze plate set in granite boulder in the Old Burying Place on Arlington Street, inscribed, "In memory of Simon Stone 1586 -- 1665 and Gregory Stone 1592 -- 1672 sons of David and Ursula Stone born in Great Bromley, Essex County, England who emigrated to New England in 1635 and settled in Watertown. This memorial is erected by the Stone Family Association in grateful remembrance of these early settlers who in their love of civil and religious liberty left their home and so much that was dear to them in England and by their courage, toil and sacrifice helped to found this Commonwealth."
