CommentLocated 100 feet south of Danielson Pike across from St. Mary Road. James N Arnold recorded this lot 13 Sep 1904 (Vol 3, Pg 1) On the Gov West farm in meadow and nearly opposite of the house across the road…. At feet are six graves we have been told the next and one nearest to the road separate from the others was that of Gov. William West [Deputy Gov May 1780-May 1781]…at the feet of Dr. Allenton. "Atwood Farm" [The parents of Gov. Stephen Hopkins and Admiral Esek Hopkins are said to be buried here. Maj. William and Ruth Wilkinson) Hopkins purchased 200 acres near Chopmist about 1709. The homestead was later sold to Col. William West. - see Ralph Mohr's book "Rhode Island footprints On The Sands Of Time" (The Oxford Press, Providence, RI, 1975)
