from "MOWRY: A UNIQUE FAMILY MONUMENT", by William A. Mowry, NEHGR, April 1898: north
side - front, ERECTED / A.D. 1896 / By / Hon. Arlon Mowry / To the Memory of / ROGER MOWRY /
And / Eight Generations / Of His Descendants / Through His Son / Nathaniel / MOWRY. Roger
Mowry was in Salem from 1636 to 1649. He and his wife Mary were members of the church at Salem.
... In 1637, he had fifty acres laid out to him two miles or more from the settlement at Salem toward
what was afterwards known as Salem Village. ... The records of the church in Salem show that his
oldest son, Jonathan, was baptized April 2, 1637, and other children as follows: Bethia, 1638, June 17;
Mary, 1640, June 16; Elizabeth, 1643, January 20; Benjamin, 1649, May 20; between Elizabeth and
Benjamin were four other children as given on the north side of the monument and no record is found
of their baptism. In August 1658, in open Town Meeting, at Providence, Roger Mowry testified that his
three youngest children, Benjamin, Thomas and Hannah, were born in Providence. It is supposed that
the Salem pastor, when on a visit in 1649 to the members of his church then residing in Providence,
found the infant Benjamin, baptized him there and entered the record upon the Salem Church book on
his return home
