Commentnear WY037 Rev. Frederic Denison recorded this lot 1867-8: "A few rods northeast from the Lanphear Ground [WY037], across the path leading to the quarry on Cormorant Hill, in the pasture of J. Thompson, in an old orchard (now nearly gone), are perhaps twelve neglected, brier-wreathed graves, evidently very old, as the little head-stones of rubble have sunk deeply down. Here lie the remains of Jedediah Austin, and probably others of this name."
