CommentOn Old Baptist Road, near Stony Lane, rear of pole 70. The burial grounds are to the sides and rear of the Historic Six Principle Baptist Church. Arnold visited this yard on 8 May 1881. He described it as two different lots which have now merged. His #99, "south of the Old Baptist Church at Scrabbletown we find a burial yard well walled and in fine order where we read the following [Hannah and Mary, wife and daughter of Ebenezer Slocum]." Next Arnold recorded his #100, "In the old Baptist Church Yard Scrabbletown lot fenced in fair order we make the following notes." It was also visited by Mrs. Lawrence. Recorded by Althea McAleer, Beatrix Hoffius, and Deby Nunes for a 1992 book on North Kingstown cemeteries.
