Last time I was in Newport I was more interested in trying to wade through the weeds in the Common Burial Ground but I did jot down the following:
Friends' Records contain the following entry: "Jeremiah Clarke, one of the first English Planters of Rhode Island, he died at Newport in the said Island and was buried in the tomb that stands by the street by the water side in Newport, upon the --day of the 11 mo., 1651."
