It's common to see 18th-century gravestones identify women as "wife of [some guy]," but less common for men to be identified as husbands. One carver who regularly called men husbands was Obadiah Wheeler of Windham Co. CT. ex: "Mr William Moore who had been ye Husband of three Wifes" (1728)
More Obadiah Wheeler "husband" stones: "Thomas Huntington Esqr & Husbband to Mrs Elizebeth Huntington" (Windham Center, CT) "Decn Shubael Dimmuck Husband to that Worthy Godly Woman Mrs joannah Dimmuck" (Masnfield Center, CT)
Sorry, I'm going to need to know more about Tamazon??
