This is all I have from Rockport/Gloucester graveyards, gleaned from a visit there in the early 80s. I have transcribed these here from my notes as I wrote them in my notebook. I think this is as they appeared on the stones, but I cannot guarantee it. Anything I think I added to my notes is contained in brackets [...] and I have used the slash ( / ) to separate lines of the inscriptions.
If you have any graveyard notes to add, please send them to me, and I will include them with full credit to the transcriber.
