CommentThis cemetery is located 1070 feet south of Route #138 between Kingston and West Kingston on University of Rhode Island Property. From Route #138 take the URI Peckham Farm entrance road. Go 10700 feet, and take the left fork in the road and go another 230 feet. The cemetery on the left side of this road on the east side of White Horn Brook. It is 50 feet x 75 feet, in fair condition, no longer enclosed although there are remnants of a wire fence; the historical cemetery sign is in good condition. There are 26 burials with three inscribed stones and fifteen fieldstones. There is a marble marker for Charles Walmsley and military markers for Thomas Johnson and Henry Thomas. There are at least eight sunken sites indicating burials with no markers. This cemetery was not recorded by James N. Arnold. In 1997 it was cleaned up as a project by students from the University of Rhode Island. Recorded by John Sterling and James Wheaton for a 2004 book on South Kingstown cemeteries.
