CommentThis cemetery is located 180 feet northeast of the loop on the end of Valley Lane. It is actually on the neighboring property at 338 East Main Road. It is 780 feet northeast of East Main Road. It is also 720 feet east of Route #24. "Rhode Island Tombstone Inscriptions" (ANON), circa 1900, at RIHS, gives a transcription of two McCurrie stones "on the Alanson Peckham farm now owned by Frederick Greene of Newport." George H. Richardson (GHR) visited this lot in 1903, read surname as CORRIE (Richardson Scrapbook 974 at NHS, p. 64). This is probably a lot for former slaves of Andrew McCorrie who were later freed. Was PO616 until located.
