George Brownell Lot
Also known as Brownell Lot , Rhode Island Historical Cemetery Portsmouth #5
Portsmouth, Newport County, Rhode Island, USA
GEORGE BROWNELL LOT
PORTSMOUTH
Location: 104 ft west of WEST SHORE RD at TEL pole # 11
14 burials with 13 inscriptions from 1718 to 1817
NOTE: First recorded in "Rhode Island Tombstone Inscriptions,"
circa 1900, at RIHS (ANON). The author called it "The Old
Brownell & Willcox Cemetery on the Baker Farm now owned by Benjamin Hally Jr. At the Coal Mines, Portsmouth." He copied 14 stones. CETA transcribers Patricia Bodine and Denise Johnson visited this cemetery 27 Oct. 1975 and
found 8 gravestones lying under the branches of a large apple tree which stood alone in the field. They described some interesting slate stones, including one perhaps used for practice carving. Clearly the legibility had
declined seriously between the two transcriptions, in addition to the 5 stones for members of the WILCOCKS family that had completely disappeared. Much detail comes only from ANON. In 1989 Ian Kohl (IK) found 8 stones, 7 of which could be read. Several down, others propped against trees.
This cemetery has been recorded but not checked.
