  From FindaGrave: G.R.1 "on stone beside that of Nancy" died aged 53y 9m or 10m; merchant son of ________ m. Nancy Nye int. 24 Aug 1816 in New Bedford, Mass. Jireh of New Bedford, Mass. Nancy of Fairhaven, Mass. children: Eben b. c.1823 d. 30 Jan 1897 Elisa Nye b. 17 March 1824 m. Wm. C. N. Swift Sarah b. c.1828 m. Charles S. Randall Hannah b. c.1830 m. William C. Paine Harriet b. 1831 d. 1832 Harriet b. c.1834 d. 25 Sept 1853 Samuel Jireh's extensive will dated 7 March 1849 is available on ancestry.com He named executors his son Eben Perry and his son-in-law William C.N.Swift. His children named were Eben, Elisa, Sarah, Hannah and Harriet. The will is complex with many stipulations and timeframes to be adhered to by his heirs. His estate included a "mansion and barn," other real estate and interests in ships and businesses along with his personal property (furniture, household goods, etc.). The will is too lengthy with difficult penmanship to attempt to transcribe and include here. It is worth the read.
