Two of his grandchildren (children of Eleanor Colwell and John Oakley) married Slipps as shown in your descendants list above. I would love to visit Queenstown and the cemetery, but as I live in Kansas now, it won't be soon. Do you know of anyone who might be able to answer questions about John Colwell's gravestone? Specifically, what is inscribed on it (if still legible)? Also, on a genforum post a few years ago someone mentioned the existence of another marker (possibly a fieldstone) near it that might mark the grave of his first wife, Hannah. I'd like to know if this is likely. Lastly, I'm curious as to why John might have been buried here rather than in Cambridge Parish across the river where his sons lived.
