Does anyone have pictures of the following graves in Old East Burial Ground, Bristol, Bristol County, Rhode Island? :
Howland, Bethiah, wife of Jabez, d. Dec. 19, 1725, in 81 yr.
Howland, Josiah, d. Feb. 8, 1717,(b. Aug. 6, 1676) in 42 yr.
I don't know if there are stones or markers but I would very much like to see these graves of my ancestors.

John Howland came to Plymouth, MA aboard the Mayflower in 1620. Many of his descendants settled in Rhode Island which was part of Massachusetts back then. So my Howland ancestors lived there until the 1770's when Caleb Howland went to Vermont. Now we're back in Western Massachusetts.
