On the Appleby farm at Stillwater east of the river, beside the road. Here are two lots, the oldest not protected although in fair order, the following yard is fenced with granite posts, in fine order."

"We are told that a Smith family owned and lived on these premises before the Appleby Family and that many of these fieldstone are Smith grave markers."
