SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF HUGH MILLING A native of Drumbo, County Down, Ireland. He departed this life the 7th day of May, 1837 Aged 85 years, 2 months and 16 days. He was a Captain in the 6th Regiment of the Continental Line of South Carolina of the Army of the Revolution and participated in all the suffering and privations incident to that perilous service. His God shielded him in the day of battle and covered his head in every dangerous moment. During the time that remained to him after the war he was found within his domestic circle and in the exercise of that benevolence, justice and integrity which marked the upright man. He was a Christian and the hope and trust of a Christian remained with him, never forsook him, and sustained and supported him in his dying hour. [[line]] The days of his pilgrimage are ended, he rests in peace, his dust has returned to the earth as it was and his spirit unto God who gave it.
Transcription Notes:
I'm preserving the line breaks because it represents how the tombstone was actually engraved.
