Gravestone at Bangor Abbey. "Sacred to the memory of John Moffet of Bangor, who died 25th January 1832 aged 73 years. Also his wife Isabella Moffet alias Kennedy, who died 18th April 1833 aged 68 years. Also their only son James who was drowned near Kingston, Jamaica, 22nd April 1829 aged 25 years. But oh: there was hope in that dear sailor's death For in youth he had learned his Redeemer to love. On that Saviour he called with his last parting breath To receive him in peace to the mansions above. Also their grand-daughter Isabella M'Kerral* who died 21st August 1849 aged 16 years." * possibly McKerral
