He was the husband of the former Sarah Reynolds. Capt. Kitchell's gravestone, which features a soul effigy of the portrait type in its tympanum, is slightly old-fashioned for the Federal Period, and appears to be the work of a craftsman known only as the Common Jersey Carver. The inscription, which was transcribed in its entirety in 1894, harks back to the grim sentiments of the early colonial period, advising passers-by to "Prepare for death and follow me". The Captain's widow, Sarah, did not follow him to the grave until nearly a quarter of a century later. While white marble was the gravestone material of choice by the time of her death in 1822, Mrs. Kitchell's stele was cut from the brown sandstone popular during the colonial era, and like her husband's, is also inscribed with an epitaph in the Puritanical vein.
