This cemetery has no formal boundaries or historical markers. The identification as the German Presbyterian Church Cemetery is based on historical descriptions of the Church's location. It was said to have been located in New Boston. New Boston was said to have been located where the roads from Harmony and Deerfield intersect. The Church was believed to have been constructed about the year 1760 and stood until approximately 1812, after which the worshipers united with neighboring Presbyterian Churches. The present day cemetery lies near the intersection of Harmony and Cohansey-Deerfield roads.

The inscriptions on the headstones were documented much earlier. Those earlier documented inscriptions match the inscriptions found at this location. Tax records show the cemetery's owners as a local Church. A local volunteer has been caring for the cemetery and undoubtedly prevented it from disappearing all together.
