CommentLocated 110 feet north of Westerly-Bradford Road along side the Amtrak tracks. It is north of Chapman Pond. Frederic Denison recorded this lot 1867-8 Chapman Ground (1); On the north border of Burden's Pond (or Chapman's Pond) a little west of the residence of Charles P. Chapman between the railroad and the new highway on a sandy knoll from which the road makers have largely drawn, are many ancient graves without enclosure or care. While many have only rough headstones, one has an inscription "Sumner Chapman 1812"
