Although flaking stone makes it difficult to establish when the headstone was erected, it can clearly be read that William Willson died a nonagenerian, aged 92. His first wife, whose maiden name appears to be Colwell, died in 1737 and his second wife, Agnes Nisbet, in 1767. The emblems of a gardener's spade and rake can be made out just below the figure.
