Denver, I think this could be what I want it to be.
Looking closely at the name on the gravestone I think that:
The first one says:
Lamone - and then possibly one other letter.
The second one looks like:
Lamon (and mayb a letter illegible before an) e.
So, it could be yet two more spellings = Lamoned and Lamonde.
Or maybe it is just Lamont or maybe Lamond.
I am fairly certain about the Lamon - so what other names could it be that have those five letters and then a max of two more? I can't think of any.
So, I have convinced myself, it IS a variation of Lamont, which I know is a form of McClements.
This could be my oldest McClements ancestor!!
