CommentAdjacent to WY003 south of Shore Road 100 ft. at pole #12. Rev. Frederic Denison recorded this lot in 1867-8: Between the post-road and the shore road on lands of the heirs of Oliver Wilcox, near one hundred rods southwest from the late residence of David Rathbun, in a pasture, uninclosed, and overgrown with bushes and vines, are a number of unlettered graves, belonging, by report, to the Sims family. Recorded by Charles & Martha Benns #860 in 1939. Recorded and photographed by John Sterling in 2006.
