CommentThis cemetery is located 300 ft north of Sandy Lane at telephone pole #76, east of the Lloyd S. Cooper Army Reserve Center parking lot, outside the fence. It is 60 ft x 60 ft, in poor condition, with no enclosure. The historical cemetery sign is missing. The cemetery contains 13 burials with 7 inscribed stones and 6 fieldstones. It is on the tax assessor’s map, Plat #349, Lot #592. The land where this cemetery is locatede was owned by Pardon Baker in the late 1700s, and during his ownership, a cemetery was established. The Lincoln family occupied the land from 1852 – 1925. The last family member buried here was in 1937. There are no marked gravestones for the Baker family and there are no clusters of fieldstone marked graves in the vicinity of the Lincon family cemetery. Charles and Martha Benns recorded this cemetery in 1935, their #481. James Arnold did not record it. Recorded by John Sterling for a book on Warwick cemeteries.
