"This cemetery came in use in the early 19th century as a non denomination burying ground, but in 1863 ownership passed to St. Paul's Anglican Church. Prominent pioneers buried here include William Roe (1795 - 1879), a town founder; Dr. Christopher Beswick (1721 - 1839), a pioneer physician; Esther Sayre Robinson Beman (1767 - 1827), mother of Peter, William and Sir John Beverly Robinson; founder Elisha Beman (1760 - 1820); John McDonald (1770 - 1828), a North West Company trader; Ann Roe (1774 - 1839), widow of Walter Roe, last British chief magistrate of Detroit. The cemetery fell in disrepair following establishment of another on Main St. in 1869. It was subsequently levelled and the cairns built." Plaque erected by the Newmarket Historical Committee, 1979.
