CommentTranscribed by Frank T Calef and recorded as Lot #8 on pages 25-29. Lot was also transcribed by Charles & Martha Benn's who list it as #909. It transcription can be found in Volume 6 page 10 of their work. It has been mistakenly listed as a Smithfield cemetery. Transcribed by Grace G Tillinghast and recorded in Arnolds transcript Volume 15, pages 137-138. She has transcribed this lot along with Spaulding Lot (LN022) and lists them as one. Her description of this lot is as follows: "Spalding Farm, River Road, a yard and graves each side near the Blackstone River." Surveyed by Roger Beaudry on April 22, 1995. Lot sits along bank of Blackstone Canal in very picturesque section of Lincoln. It is located behind 7 Maria St. It is surrounded on three sides by stone wall and on west by Blackstone Canal. There are a few missing stones from earlier surveys and one stub of a slate stone. Some stones have been toppled but some one has been attempting to maintain lot. A sign has been erected but has been erroneously given the number of 55. Transcribed by Ethel M White who described it as: "Wilkinson Cemetery - River Road - Lincoln" Transcribed by Ron Farrar who describes it as follows: "Maria Street, off River Road, next to Blackstone Canal"
