Comment	Denison recorded this lot in 1867: "This is a large unfenced spot, in the southeast corner of a field now owned by George D. Cross Esq on the east side of the highway leading to Lottery Village, just below the village of Westerly and in front of the house of Thomas E. Saunders. The land once belonged to the Lewis family and afterwards to Arnold Kenyon. It is said that seven generations of the Lewises beginning with John Lewis are here buried, but their tombstones are unlettered. John Lewis was one of the first settlers in the town."
