  Headstone for William Maffett Headstone in Cannon Creek ARP Church Cemetery. Image supplied by Carolyn Ernst. Transcription supplied by Carolyn Ernst says: In memory of William Maffett Son of Samuel and Jane Maffett who departed this life Oct 8th 1831 aged 26 years O life, frail offspring of a day! 'Tis puff'd with short gasp away, Swift as the short-lived flower, if flies, It springs, it blooms, it fades, it dies. The sun that makes your violets bloom Once cheered his eye now dark in the death, The wind that wanders o'er his tomb, Was once his vital breath.
