Comment
The Andrews Cemetery is located 600 feet north of Richardson Road at telephone pole #5. The cemetery is in a field 420 feet behind the farm house at #120 Richardson Road. It is 95 ft x 75 ft, in good condition, and enclosed with a stone wall. The gate is missing. The historic cemetery sign is in fair condition. There are 60 burials with 35 inscribed stones and six fieldstones. James N. Arnold visited this lot on 27 Jul. 1905 and noted, “On the Andrews farm, southeast corner of Quidneck Pond, lot fenced and in fair order. Lot planted in behind graves, in good shape” (Vol. 6, Book A, page 1074). Recorded by Dr. Bill Eddleman and John Sterling for a 1998 book on Coventry cemeteries
