This cemetery is located just off of Route 19 near Rock Glen, New York. One of the "famous" local sites within this cemetery is that of Berzillai Yates.

According to the May 1950 edition of the Historical Wyoming Quarterly: "Back in 1806 when this area was still in its primeval grandeur and densely covered with deciduous forests, a 49 year old Revolutionary War Soldier names Berzillai Yates and his wife Mercy, along with his 93 year old mother Elizabeth, located here on Lot 23, and began to hack out an existence in the wilderness. They had left their home in Medon Massachusetts and traveled here by oxcart to establish Yates Settlement. This became a stagecoach stop. Other buildings that had previously stood in this area were a general store, a sawmill, and a Hotel which doubled as the stagecoach stop. There are no remains of these buildings to been seen today and all there is to remind us of this settlement is a small cemetery perched above the Oatka Creek on its East bank."

Within this small plot sits 6 to 7 grave markers - nearly none of which are readable. The Yates grave is marked with a bronze plaque that states:

Berzillai Yates
Cpl Continental Line
Revolutionary War
1757 - 1841
