Browning and Dianna Green gravestones found

After 35 years of searching, some kind people cleared out the underbrush in the Charlestown, RI Historical Cemetery #44 and in the back southwest corner I found two gravestones this week that were previously inaccessible.

Mrs. Dianna Green, wife of Browning Green Esq, died 17 Jan 1847 (I am not positive that I read the two "7"s in this date correctly), aged 78 years 22 days. (This could have been 76 years.)

Laying down next to Dianna's stone was another stone. This was harder to read, but here is what I read:

Browning Green, Esq, died 15 Nov 1822 (The final "2" is a guess, but agrees with the Town Hall records where his estate was probated Dec 1822), aged 54 years, 7 months, 2 days.

I have photos of these stones, but only Dianna's stone is legible in the photos.

A Texas-sized thank you to the people who cleared out the underbrush in this cemetery.
