Transcribed by James N Arnold Sept 18, 1919 (Vol 25 page 247-248). He describes lot as follows: "Continueing up this road* we find no sight of the road, but on the other side and back some distance, a yard well protected with granite posts and iron rods, but yard is some neglected." Arnold also makes note of the fact that. "There is a line of graves who have markers, but they appear to have been removed elsewhere." *Swan Road Transcribed by Charles & Martha Benns (Vol II page 202) who assigned it #190. They describe location as "Jaswell Farm in Spragueville" Transcribed by Ron Farrar who describes lot as "Swan Road (Jaswell) Swan Cemetery. Granite posts and iron rails still surround this yard which also contains the footstones of above. The headstones and graves have been removed to Union Cemetery, North Smithfield." Transcribed by Roger Beaudry December 23, 1996. Only 5 footstones are located in lot. Stones were removed to Union Cemetery before 1919.
