Loved your presentation! Wow those folks were certainly strong, brave and tough. Had a friend in high school on the Cape with the last name of Gallup, wonder of those were her ancestors?
That was a pretty cool cemetery, it's amazing how long many of its inhabitants lived well beyond the average lifespan of the time. Must of been from the great seafood in that region of the country. Enjoy your videos.
@@schatzsucher that's amazing you have good genes but diet is very important. I don't live there anymore, still have a sister up there. My family are New Englanders going back a long time. Living to 103 just amazes me just think of all the changes in life during his lifetime pretty cool.

It is a shame that they started using sandstone around the turn of the century between the 1700s and 1800s, because it is more porous and wears down much faster than the earlier slate stones. Many of the earliest tombstones of the first half of the 1600s were made of wood or unmarked fieldstone. By the latter part of the 1600s, slate was used primarily and the carvings last much longer than sandstone. The "death's head" carving at the top began to change around 1790-1800, when the image of a Weeping Willow tree was carved instead of the more classic skull and crossbones. By the Victorian era, marble was primarily used.

Interesting thought, my grandfather was from New England and lived to be 103, he only ate fish, no meat.
