| Comment | This cemetery is located nine hundred feet west of Route #2 at telephone pole #93. It is nearly opposite the road to Great Swamp fight monument, and it is five hundred feet southwest of the house at #3401 Route #2 in the middle of a hay field. There is evidence that a herd of deer rest inside of this cemetery. It is 60 feet x 45 feet, in good condition, enclosed with a stone wall, and no historical cemetery sign. There are 61 burials with 45 inscribed stones and 16 fieldstones.
James N. Arnold recorded this cemetery Nov. 9, 1880, his #231, “on land of William Marchant northwest of his house in open lot a burial yard of his family all with dark stones [slate] unless otherwise stated.” The cemetery was also recorded in 1933 by Charles and Martha Benns, their #194, but they thought it was in Richmond.
Found, registered, and recorded by John Sterling & James Wheaton for a 2004 book on South Kingstown cemeteries. |
