Christ Church Derriaghy
"The Seeds Grave plot to the left of the main walk records burials from 1746. It is marked by an obelisk and a stone bearing a number of inscriptions. The stone, however, was originally on a grave near the North Wall of the old church and was removed to its present site some time last century leaving the old graves unmarked. The family has Carrickfergus and Belfast connections where, as the inscriptions say, they were merchants. There is a device on the stone depicting a hand holding stalks of corn. Another branch was in the legal profession, one of the family being an Advocate General in Dublin."
