One of the seamen is said to have been the lover of Miss Hannah Howland, which probably explains why she has this epitaph on her monument: "To the memory of Miss Hannah Howland, who died of a Languishment January ye 25th, 1780." The grave of the Elder Faunce, to whom we are indebted for the history of Plymouth Rock and for its preservation, is here.
