Tombstone inscription from Aubrey Dry, Sr. to me by e-mail 24 Jun 1999. He is married to a descendant of Levi's daughter and photographed the stone before it was (probably ) destroyed.
Material in parentheses is best guess of Mr. Dry.
Mr. Dry says that on a trip they stopped by Bear Creek Cem. They found the stone "in a pile of rubble," reassembled it and took pictures. Levi's inscription was on one side and Samantha's on the other.

Mr. Dry says he chose the number 62 for Levi's age based on the belief that Levi was the unborn child referred to in Hilliard Fatheree's will of Nov. 1780 and that he was brother to Ebenezer, Reading, and Hilliard (Jr.)also mentioned in the will. That would make him born in Feb 1781.
