Comment
follow survey line between lots 3 & 4 east of Austin Farm Rd for about 1500ft. Cross stone wall and go south on logging road on other side of wall. Follow road about 200 yds to ridge on right side. Follow ridge SW about 200 ft to cemetery on lot #2. Evelyn Umphrey (former owner) found the Capt John Willcox stone and the Mary Tate stone about 1/4 mile north of the cemetery leaning against a tree in the 1930's. This cemetery was found, registered and recorded by John Sterling & James Good for their 1994 book on Exeter cemeteries.
