CommentLocated 20 feet east of Paris Irons Road, 150 feet north of Snake Hill Road. Sayles #40 - at corner of Snake Hill Rd. Benns #148 (Vol II, page 173). "Glocester" Benns also recorded this cemetery under their number #553 (Vol IV page 21) "Hawkins Family Cor Snake Hill & Paris Irons Road---Glocester" They also note that "The stones are all lying flat on the ground, except that of the Revolutionary soldier. Much neglected" Note that both Benns transcriptions each contain some stones not found in the other transcription.
