Comment
Rev. Frederic Denison recorded this lot in 1867-8: This is found in the eastern part of the town, about half a mile north of the drift-way leading from the York residence to the house of the late Henry C. Gavitt, on the old Rathbun Green farm, now owned by Mr. Benjamin W. Bentley, on the north side of a pasture, on the hill-side. It is enclosed by a wall, but the headstones are without inscriptions. Here lie Rathbun Green, his wife Esther Green, and their daughter Martha and others. Follow Moorehouse Road past Trombino Field to the house at the end. Follow along the north side of the property along the stone wall
