CommentRecorded by G H Richardson 19 Aug 1869. Despite the name of the cemetery, the surviving inscriptions all are for TAYLOR family members (with the exception of PATIENCE PECKHAM), mostly buried between 1757 and 1766. This lot appears to have beeen moved to Island Cemetery (NT001) as Turner places stones which Richardson placed here in Island instead (for example, SARAH (TAYLOR) WILLIAMS, BENJAMIN TAYLOR, and PATIENCE PECKHAM). The "History of Newport County" does not mention it in 1888, so presumably the graves were moved between Richardson's visit in 1869 and that date.
