Hi Tony

I found this site which may help!

http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/LatinNotes.html

Excerpt from above site:

(4) Burials
These were mainly brief and once dates are understood are relatively simple to translate.

A normal format would be:

Sarah Overton vid. sepulta fuit decimo quarto Iulii 1674.
Sarah Overton, widow, was buried 14th July 1674.

From a passage further up the article it would appear that FUIT means 'has been' or 'was'. So does sepultus mean buried??
