7 Russell Road: east side of Russell Road just north of King Street. This is neither the original stone nor the original location. Baker and Woodward reported the original stone to be missing as of the 1800s and DAR records show that the current stone was placed at this location in 1920. The original stone was located about 0.35 northwest of its replacement. According to Woodward, the "stone was evidently placed on the east side, and very close to, [King Street], on the eastern side of Shuter's Hill, in a subdivision known as Spring Park," which is now called Rosemont.
