RIP, Matthew Whaley
The Bruton Parish Churchyard is an amazing place and a must-visit when I go to Colonial Williamsburg. Interred within are pre-Colonial, Colonial, and Civil War dead, including “Governor Edward Nott, first rector Rowland Jones, the powerful Thomas Ludwell, merchant John Greenhow, and two infant children of Martha Custis Washington by her first husband.”
This massive marker commemorates the life of Matthew Whaley, age nine, who died in 1705.
