Description
English:

Reddish brown gravestone, with inscription.

Sandstone grave marker for Samuel T. Pell, who served as an officer in the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War. Pell served throughout the war, experienced the infamous Valley Forge winter of 1777-78, and fought at Saratoga in 1777 and Yorktown in 1781, among other battles. He survived the war and died in a horse accident in 1786, at age 32. His finely chiseled stone, created by New York City craftsman Thomas Brown, features a Trophy of Arms at the top and an evocative epitaph at the bottom.
