Was obviously a sailor, with respect to the ship carved on his stone and the poem written on it also
The drawing is a faithful rendition of what the stone looks like.

Inscription
This stone was erected here by John Kelly of Skerries in memory of his father-in-law William Cornwell who departed this life October the 6th 1785 aged 63 years.
Likewise his mother-in-law Jane Cornwell alias Doyle who departed this life September the 18th 1785 aged 63 years
Boreas blasts and Neptune's waves hath tossed me to and fro
In spite of both, by God's decree, I anchor here below
I station here, and lie secure, with many of our Fleet
In hopes once more for to set sail, our Saviour Christ to meet
