Surname  Larkins    
First Name(s)  Warren Hastings    
Year  1788    
Inscription  An afflicted and disconsolate father, hath caused this Monument to be erected, to the Memory of his only son, Warren Hastings Larkins; who died the 20th August, 1788, aged 4 years and 20 days. An uncommon promising genius, and engaging and amiable disposition, made him the delight of his father and a favourite of the settlement; in this season of innocence, the hand of providence visited him with a mortal disease, and removed him from the presence of his earthly parent, to the kingdom of his heavenly father and Redeemer. The dictates of reason and religion may teach us to acknowledge the benefits derived to him from the change; but the lenient hand of time only can reconcile the feelings of paternal affection, to the disappointments of hope, on which it had fondly rested, and which have been thus untimely destroyed.
