Comment
Transcribed by James Arnold 24 Jan 1883 (his #49) "on land of Dea William C Potter NE of his house lot walled and in fine order." Enter behind house #396 on Yagoo Valley Road at NEL pole #2075 (0.3 mi. east of Route #2), and go back 1000 ft from the road (no trail) until you come to an abandoned road running east-west. Follow this road west until the road turns south. Stop and back track heading east on this road for 480 ft to a fork in the road. Take the left fork and go 300 ft to a stone wall. Continue through the stone wall for another 200 . Turn south for 100 ft and you will be in the cemetery. This cemetery was found, registered and recorded by John Sterling & James Good for their 1994 book on Exeter cemeteries.
