While visiting the Little Compton (RI) Commons this summer at the Grinnell Family Association reunion, I photographed several Grinnell tombstones in the Old Commons Burial Ground and the Union Cemetery (located across Meeting House Lane, but still in the "village.")
Shown here is the tombstone of the infamous "Pirate" Dick Grinnell.
The Old Commons Burial Ground is located adjacent to the Congregational Church, where members of the Grinnell family were known to have been members for many generation.
I've posted these images on Findagrave.com. When you arrive on the front page for each cemetery, type "Grinnell" into the surname search and see what you discover!
