I went to college in rural New England and absolutely fell in love with the incredible art of colonial cemeteries. I’m so happy to see that someone is carrying it into the future.♥️

Another good reason for upright stones - flat stones would likely be covered with snow and thus invisible here. Very cool.

Wow now that you mention it, there's a lot more going on with these stones than I noticed. I only saw them from one direction. Really nice.

What a waste of beautiful stone. Surely another source of carbonate can be found - there is plenty of low-grade marble all over the world.

Unfortunately, the Ferguson book is, by its own admission, a fanciful and untrustworthy tale. He married into the family and was enchanted by some tall tales he'd heard, and he then exaggerated them further to weave a semi-truthful story. "Cleopatra's Barge" is therefore a fun read, but not a valid source. The original Johannes Richter von Kronenschildt wasn't from Ireland or England; he was German, and his birth and baptismal records are found there in the Leipzig Lutheran records. He was enrolled in the University of Leipzig for medical studies but did not complete them before coming to the U.S., but he still called himself "Dr. John Crowninshield." As far as his wife, Elizabeth Allen, remarrying and moving to England...I would love to hear more about that! Can you share your sources? That is new info to me and would be fascinating to learn more about as a descendant. Thanks for your help and for the video!

Great video and study! You've gained a subscriber! However, he was not the first stonecutter of New England, though likely of Massachussets. Matthew Griswold emigrated to Windsor Connecticut in the 1640s and was carving markers of Brownstone as early as 1644 (Windsor), and 1648 (Hartford and Wethersfield). His nephew George Griswold also was carving by 1657. That being said, the Boston Stonecutter was far more elaborate in his work, as the Griswolds carved no designs apart from simple line borders and on several occasions, heraldic coats of arms. Another unknown stonecutter appears in Newport RI in the 1660s, also with simpler stones, featuring odd shapes and swirling rosettes.

Couple of corrections: Marble is not “ ground into calcium carbonate. It IS calcium carbonate. It is ground into powder. Second, OMYA mines and grinds marble that fractures easily and is not suitable for slabs for building and monument applications. This quality of marble is known as dimension stone. OMYA subleases their dimension stone quarry to an Italian company that still mines this grade of marble for use in building and monuments. The crushed marble OMYA grinds is far more than just “a filler.” Used in the manufacture of plastics, pharmaceuticals, paints and paper making (among other applications), the crushed marble provides neutral pH, brightness, whiteness, and opacity (in paper). Additionally, ground marble reduces the amount of petrochemicals needed to make plastics and reduces the number of trees needed to make paper.

@stonesoverbones2709 9 ай бұрын

ha, sounds like you work as PR for OMYA? While you may disagree, I think it's an absolute shame that marble from Vermont is no longer used to build America's proudest structures. And seeing marble that has taken millions of years to form simply ground into dust for paper, paints, and plastics feels even more appalling. OMYA killed Vermont's mighty marble industry. And while this Swedish company's profits have soared, the architecture and artisans of this nation have suffered greatly because of it.

This was so cool! I grew up in Proctor and Renzo Palmerini was my next door neighbor! Incredible man, talented, funny, humble and warm. He was almost completely responsible for the Hall of Presidents at the Vermont Marble Museum and they should be moved to the Smithsonian, they're incredible. I thank you for this!

Yes yes, a great biography on him is perhaps more accurately titled Mayflower Bastard by David Lindsay. I highly recommend it to anyone curious to learn more about his tumultuous life.

Drive out to Eastham on the Cape and stop at the tiny burial ground on 6A on the right side just past the rotary if you want to see several more gravesites from the Mayflower folks.

@stonesoverbones2709 11 ай бұрын

False. You're referring to the Cove Burying Ground in Eastham, MA. While the remains of three Mayflower passengers are indeed buried there (Lt. Joseph Rogers, Constance & Giles Hopkins) they unfortunately do not have gravestones carved at the time of their deaths. The only memorials for them are bronze plaques embedded into boulders.

@monicapushkin3274 11 ай бұрын

Is it possible this gravestone originally had a rounded top, then was later modified to a pointed top? Because the "D" in "BURIED" is carved right up to the straight edge. How could that be possible without chipping the edge? Perhaps the top was damaged and someone wanted to straighten it out.

What a waste of time and resources. Stupid to treat the dead like they are special. Everybody dies it's nothing special. This practice of taking up space to bury people and caskets and funerals, etc... is creepy and childish, just like religion!
