Translated from Latin inscription:
"Here lies buried David Bray, Esquire, a man, handsome, able, and affable and charming in manner.
A Justice appointed to the Council in Virginia by the most serene King George the Second, he was snatched away by death before entering office, in the prime of his life.
He had joined to him in matrimony Elizabeth, the eldest daughter of John Page, Esquire, most closely joined to him by mutual affection, and he left her childless and grieving October 5th, 1731, aged 32."
She put up this monument as a final tribute to their love.
