My camera gets balky in low light, so some of the inscriptions turned out to be less than legible. Here are a few that turned out to be decent enough to share:

courteous Deportment
Which with a peculiar
livelinefs of Spirit & wit
Rendered her
Conversation Entertaining & instructive
And qualified her to
Sustain the Different Station of Life

She abounded with the
Truest signs of a most affectionate
Tenderness towards
her Husband and Children;
Of Kindness to her
Relations; of Charity to the poor
And faithfulness to

In Return for these

She was loved and

NOTE: The dates are right for him to be Richard
Chenevix (1698 – 11 September 1779), a descendent of Huguenot
immigrants. Source: Wikipedia. I believe that his wife was Dorothea DIVES,
sister to Admiral DIVES. Other readers may be able to add more.
