CommentRecorded by Charles and Martha Benns, their #445, in 1935. They found 12 inscribed gravestones. Recorded by CETA in 1976. In 1977 the gravestones were removed from this cemetery and stored in the basement of the RI Veteran's Home in Bristol for safe keeping. The town council would like to move the cemetery but there is some controversy about whether the bodies are to be moved. See Prov Journal article 8 Oct 1981. In 2010 the stones were moved to a storage building at the Bristol North Burial Ground. GPS coordinates 41 deg. 43' 21.18"N x 71 deg. 14' 30.53"W
