CommentLocated 125 feet northwest of Quaker Lane behind the first building, Building E of the Quaker Manor. Inscribed stones mark the graves of the family of JOSEPH and AMY FISH, probably later than the unmarked fieldstones. This lot was recorded by anonymous transcriber in "Rhode Island Tombstone Inscriptions," circa 1900 at RIHS. He or she gave the location as "John W. Franklyn Farm west of Quaker Hill, East Main Road, Portsmouth." Today (1998) it is 50' behind Building E of the Quaker Manor housing development. Marginal notes on the 1970 resurvey indicate that it was then confused with PO015. CETA filled out an information sheet but did not visit. Ian Kohl (IK) also recorded it as PO015 in 1989. Recorded 14 April 1998 by John Sterling and Cherry Bamberg (JES). Inscribed stones toppled, strewn about, one buried next to its base.
