CommentTranscibed by Roger Beaudry on January 15, 1995. Lot sits atop a stone wall adjacent to the road. At the time of this survey, lot was well cared for by persons unknown. Grass showed signs of being mowed and all stones were standing. Previous survey was done by Ethel M White May 9, 1937, who describes it as: "On Great Road Saylesville" Charles and Martha Benns did survey during early 1930's and gave it number 239. It is recorded in Volume II, page 238 of their work. Grace G Tillinghast surveyed lot in 1932. It's recorded in Volume 25, page 435. It is erroneously listed as being a Smithfield cemetery. She describes lot as follows: "Near house of ----Briggs which was first old school house." Transcribed by Ron Farrar who described lot as follows: "Great Road, next to Rotondo"
