By 2012, the engraving on this stone is nearly gone. A partial survey of the gravestones in Elmwood, done about 1940, recorded this inscription:
"Samuel Hitchcock
Died
20th August, 1806
Aged 8 Years
And who lies beneath this stone."
This would place Samuel's birth about 1898.
In 2008 and 2013, cemetery surveyors read the birth date as August 19. Some transcripts of Elmwood Cemetery interments, available online, suggest Samuel's death date was August 29th.
The death notice published in the Sentinel and Democrat (Burlington, Vermont) on September 3, 1806 States "On Friday last, Samuel Hitchcock,aged 12 years, son of Hon Samuel Hitchcock." This would place Samuel's death on August 29, and his year of birth about 1794.
