CommentBehind truck stop at SW corner of Breakheart Hill Rd & Route #102. The parking lot borders the north and west sides of the cemetery. Recorded by Adelaide Knight 22 Oct 1927 (JNA:30 pg106) "Yard on farm known as the "Stillman Place", in bad repair, but walled in. Was told that this was the original home of Jeremiah Ellis and that the house was built shortly after 1700 by the Ellis family. House in good repair, gambrel roof, and good size, but old chimney has been removed and a small one put in."
