Tombstone

Parts are easy to read, and parts are difficult to read. The year of death is small and squeezed against the edge of the stone and is especially hard to read. The tombstone arguably reads

"Thomas Kaple Died. Aug. The 14 1801 AGD 86"

Find A Grave: Memorial #192558339 states, without evidence, that Thomas Kaple was born in 1715 in County Kilkenny, Ireland.
