CommentSame location as NK181 but on west side of pond. It was a short distance from the Peleg Lawton saw mill. Arnold, his #5, described it in 1880 as "a very large yard graves impossible to count owing to the overgrowth. This was a slave yard of the Gardiner and Stanton families. The largest yard we have yet seen." In Arnold South Kingstown transcript he also visited this lot 27 Feb 1880 right after SK092 (his #46) and said "see North Kingstown. A distance north of this yard (SK092) near his saw mill in woods is an extensive burial yard of slaves of the Gardiner family, lot overgrown with briar and weeds and difficult to count, perhaps 75 or 80." 1800 feet east of NK181 and 100 ft NW of SK092
