John Webster, Esq.,
by Noah Webster, L.L.D. (1818)
 His most eminent descendant,
Noah Webster, LL.D., one of the chief lexicographers of the English
language, erected in the Old Hadley Cemetery, in 1818, a modest
slab upon or near the spot where Gov. Webster was buried, bearing
the following inscription:
"To the memory of John Webster, Esq. one of the first settlers of Hartford in Connecticut, who was many years a Magistrate or Assistant, and afterwards Deputy Gov. and Governor of that Colony, and in 1659 with three sons, Robert, William and Thomas, associated with others in the purchase and settlement of Hadley where he died in 1661, this monument is erected in 1818 by his descendant, Noah Webster of Amherst." |
