CommentThis cemetery is 100 feet west of Glen Farm Road opposite the barns at the Glen Farm. Opposite the stables of Glen Farm and well cared for. The Cundall stones face west but the Slocums face north indicating they have been reset sometime in the past and may not be in the proper order. To get there from East Main Road turn east on Glen Road, south onto Glen Farm Road and go to the third driveway on the right. There is a stone shed on left corner at the turn and the cemetery is next to it. George H. Richardson recorded this lot in 1892 (Richardson Scrapbook 974 at NHS, no page number).Transcribed by CETA circa 1975, this cemetery includes some of the earliest Portsmouth gravestones. The lot adjoins a stone barn. Visited by Laurie Carpenter in 1997. Visited by Lisa Berard and John Sterling in 2001. The gravestones were photographed by Letty Champion in 2008.
