(10) Mystery grave in Pike Brethren Cemetery:

William Donaldson is my name
And Scotland is my nation
Nant-Y-Glo is my dwelling place.
And Heaven is my expectation.
When I am dead and in my grave
And all my bones are rotten
These few lines will tell my name
When I am quite forgotten.

(11) The Stars My Destination:

Gully Foyle is my name
And Terra is my nation.
Deep space is my dwelling place,
The stars my destination.

(12) Ethel Hegeman's Documentation:

He writes The Bible was the first Brookfield edition printed in 1815. On the first blank page we find the following:

The property of
Thomas Chaddock
October 1818
price 3.00

    underneath the following:

Thomas Chaddock is my name,
and English is my nation;
Brookfield is my native place
And Christ is my salvation.

(13) I'M A LITTLE ORPHAN GIRL (in the DT):

Rodger Lang Strang (1948), 27, as a line game;
continued with a rhyme properly belonging to the class
of book rhymes: When I'm dead and in my grave,/ And all
my bones are rotten,/ This little book shall tell my
name/ When I am quite forgotten./ Jeannie Rodger is my
name;/ Dundee is my nation;/ Heaven is my dwelling-
place/ And holy habitation.

(14) Inscriptions:

Finally, one of my favorite inscriptions. In a childish hand, on the inside cover of a tract published in 1838 entitled The Story of Joseph and his Brethren the owner, Peter Ingray, left an inscription for the ages:

Peter Ingray is my name
England is my nation
Bassingbourn is my living place
And Christ is my salvation.
When I'm dead and in the grave
And all my bones are rotten
Take up this book and in there look
And see I'm not forgotten.
Signed, Peter Ingray

(15) Liz Burdick's Chaddock Family History:

The birth of Thomas on 12 Nov 1760 , as son of Joseph, is listed in the Brookfield, MA VR, and he, Thomas listed his families' records on a sheet of ledger like paper numbered 398, owned by Liz (Tillman) Burdick in 1997. This paper was handed down to his Granddaughter Avelyn Hughes, Liz Burdicks Great Grandmother, and was found in the trunk which contained all the clues and records collected by many family members that started this whole "mess" of research. The page is headed "Chaddock Family Record" and below this "The Property of Thomas Chaddock October 1818. price 3.00". Following this is: "Thomas Chaddock is my name, And English is my nation; Brookfield is my native place And Christ is my salvation."
