Anyone care to try transcribing the headstone of Benjamin Chamberlin in one of the images on the Findagrave page? I can offer this hint, his will is dated 5 November 1838 so the date of death should be after that.

One more hint, his estate was settled 25 February 1839.

My own take is

In memory of Benjamin Chamberlin who died Feb 8 1839 E 56 Y 11 mos & 23 (or 25) days
