From Wikipedia:

John Leland (May 14, 1754 – January 14, 1841) was an American Baptist minister who preached in Massachusetts and Virginia, as well as an outspoken abolitionist. He was an important figure in the struggle for religious liberty in the United States.^[1][2][3] Leland also later opposed the rise of missionary societies among Baptists.^[4]

In Cheshire Cemetery, Leland’s obelisk grave-marker displays a commemorative plaque.
