Inscription
Approximate Translation from Latin:
This stone indicates the ashes of John Babb this parochial gentlemen, who had intervened to prevent Death. William John called upon another; He was the sole heir to his grandson Richard M. Ducke. For a long time, he lay motionless from the disease. His last breath on August 1st, Year of 1697. Age 68.
Not amenable to the reader, is that there is not enough wealth to buttress life or abstain from death's wounds, no matter what beforehand is conjured and derived.
Latin:

Ducke abnepotem suum: Lento deinde morbo diutissime defixus, animam exhalavit calendis Augusti Anno Salutis 1697. Aetatis 68.
difce lector quam minime sufficiant opes vitae aftruendae, aut vulneri Mortis abftinendo, elfi elonga antecess forum feri congerantur & deriventun
