Tombstone Tuesday ~ John Senter, Hudson, New Hampshire

These gravestones were photographed at the Senter Cemetery, Hudson, New Hampshire.  It is located on the corner of Derry and Robinson Road at USGS Nashua North Quadrangle, E30311, N474278, Zone 19 (42° 48' 51"N, 71° 24' 30"W)

The unusual green quartz boulder on the left

has a bronze plaque that reads:

IN MEMORY OF 

JOHN SENTER 1742

HIS WIFE

JEAN FOSTER 1765

DEDICATED BY HIS DESCENDANTS

1998

HERE LYES THE BODY OF MRS

JEAN SENTER WIFE TO MR

JOHN SENTER SHE DIED JULY 10

1765 AGED 67 YEARS

I'm not a Senter descendant, but this cemetery is right around the corner from me, and I've always wanted to explore it.  It's only a small family burial ground, but there are many surnames on the gravestones inside.  John was one of the original proprietors of Londonderry (Nutfield)  in 1719.

There is a book, John Senter and Jean Foster Descendants, circa 1693 - 2005, by John G. Senter, compiled by Geary M. Senter, Nashua, NH, 2005.
