CommentThis cemetery is located between Kingston and Peace Dale off Kingston Road (Route #108) at pole #360. It is 1150 feet north of Zinns Road at telephone pole #10. Go east on Zinns Road to #176 at the end of the road. The cemetery is 1050 feet north of the house. It is 45 feet x 60 feet, in fair condition, enclosed with a stone wall. There is no historical cemetery sign. The cemetery contains eleven burials with nine inscribed stones and two fieldstones. James N. Arnold visited this cemetery May 24, 1881, his #279, “on land of E. Collins Tefft north of his house lot walled part in fair condition and part shows neglect.” Found, registered, and recorded by John Sterling & James Wheaton for a 2004 book on South Kingstown cemeteries.
