The following is merely one interpretation of what you see on the stone. Make your own interpretation.

Regarding the day of the month above, there is an odd & perhaps similar example in June H. Wester's Ragsdale book page 15 which shows a date as "XXIjh of January in the XIIIJh yeare of Queen Elizabeth's reign (1601)". Could the above be 1jh or Ijh?

I assume that "LICTH" is "LIETH", but other than that, please let me know at JamesWGreen@Juno.Com, if you interpret the stone differently. Thanks, James W. Green III
