| Comment | This cemetery is located 100 ft east of New London Turnpike, east of the Valley Country Club parking lot. It actually consists of four adjacent lots with 68 burials, 47 inscribed stones and 15 fieldstones. It is on the tax assessor’s map, Plat #252, Lot #3.
The cemetery has been recorded as four sections:
Sect A: This is probably the oldest lot. It is a fine cut stone wall, 90 ft by 85 ft containing Holdens. There are at least 15 fieldstone burials here, probably older Holdens.
Sect B: This lot is adjacent to Sect A to the east. It is 90 ft by 35 ft surrounded by granite posts and iron rails.
Sect C: This lot is adjacent to Sect B to the east. It is 90 ft by 20 ft and is not enclosed, although there are indications that granite posts ran along the east edge at one time. The south end has Masons and the north end has Bicknells
Sect D: A wooded area north of the other three, has no enclosure and is 150 ft by 125 ft
James Arnold visited this lot 12 June 1892. He found it “on the brim of the hill on the New London Turnpike on the east side of the road. Some lots neglected some fair” (Vol. 2, pp. 245-270). Arthur James visited in the 1930s, “on Jabiz’s Hill” (Vol. 29, p. 222).
