Jonathan Sparrow

Here rests the dust of Richard Sparrow and his wife Pandora, who came from Kent County England about 1633, and settled in Plymouth. About 1650, they came to Eastham and settled near this place where he died January 8, 1660. Here also rests Jonathan Sparrow, only child of Richard. Together with his first two wives, Rebecca Bangs & Hannah Prince. He settled in the part of Eastham now East Orleans, where, after filling many office of honor and trust in both church and state, he died March 21, 1706. Aged 73 years.

In memory of these early settlers of our country. We their descendants, have erected this tablet in this centennial year of our American Independence A.D. 1876.
