CommentOn west side of Post Road 40 feet from road, just north of Wickford Commons mall. It is a little north of Oakdale Road. Current widening of U.S. Rte.1 (1991), has eliminated stone wall abutting road and diminished size of lot. Graves were not disturbed. Lot is brush and vine covered. R.I. Statewide Historical Cemeteries Survey of 1978 found the area so overgrown with vegetation and fallen trees that no survey was possible. In the winter of 1989, conditions were such that lot could be examined. Arnold visited this lot 31 July 1883, his #160, "On land of Mr. Brown beside the road, lot walled but much neglected, drab stones in this yard." Recorded by Althea McAleer, Beatrix Hoffius, and Deby Nunes for a 1992 book on North Kingstown cemeteries.
