CommentThis cemetery is 225 feet east of west Main Road, across from Stringham Road, north of Mobil station and behind Duncan Donuts. Registered in 1995 by Mildred Champlin. Four stones recorded in the 19th century by Dr Henry Turner (HET) on the Boyd Farm. This is the site from which the windmill was moved to Middletown in 1995 (see "Wind Grist Mills on Aquidneck Island" pub. Middletown Historical Society, 1992). The four marble stone were not seen in 1996. We are told they were there as late as 1940.
