This
Mystery Tombstone is an
irresolute 18th century
epitaph
... the source of much
speculation.
• It is located in
the seaside village of
Plymouth and it belonged
to young Betty Stivens,
and reads, "She was
a mother without knowing
it and a wife without
letting her husband know
it, except by her kind
indulgence to him."
• Plymouth is also
the site of one of
Tobago's earliest
communities, having first
been settled by the Dutch
in 1633.
• They were driven
out by Spaniards three
years later.
• In 1654 a group
of Courlanders - now
called Latvians
established themselves in
this area and constructed
a fort.
• The Courlanders
in turn were driven out
by the Dutch four years
later.
