Commentbetween house (Cajacet) and road on lawn of #864 E. Shore Rd. There were many fieldstones here 50 years ago when it was a camp. Legend says that the pirate Capt Kidd used to visit Capt Thomas Paine and that his first mate is buried in this cemetery. Some say Capt Kidd (1654-1701) is buried here, but he was hanged for murder and piracy at London England on May 23 1701.
