Lincoln #14 has been being recovered by the River Road Cemetery Volunteers and the Blackstone Valley Historical Society since November 21, 2015 who have identified over 30 non inscribed field stones and one non inscribed slate burial. Arnold thought that this lot was associated with the Harris family..Transcribed by Roger Beaudry on February 20, 1995. Its actual location is north of the intersection of Sherman Ave and Eddie Dowling Highway (Route 146). It is close to the brook which runs under Sherman Ave at this point. It is visible from Sherman Road right where the on/off ramp begins from the street when looking over the metal railing toward the direction of the brook. There is now an easily accessible path leading right to it. The original state listing of historical cemeteries listed this lot as unable to be found. Peter DiCola in his 1984 report listed this as #14. At the time of the Beaudry survey fluorescent surveyors tape outlined this lot. It is unable to be determined who did the survey. When the BVHS cleanup was begun, it was badly overgrown with vines, bent trees, branch and leaf debris. The original outlines of this very old lot are visible and there are likely more than the 30 burials found. The picturesque area behind it has stone walls that have what looks like an opening for leading cattle down to the river bank and even a possible foundation for a structure...Permission has been given for the BVHS group to do recovery operations by the current owner Fred Conklin..
