About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This cemetery was not surveyed by Dr. Marble nor is it listed in the online Rootsweb cemetery listings.

In a deed dated December 16, 1829 the cemetery was excluded from the land transfer and was described as follows:
"...with the exception of a piece of land two rods square for the purpose of a burying Ground on the Hill on the south side of the Post Road between Robert Charlton's land and an oak tree where the father of Richard Bulby and others of the family have been interred."

Based on research by various members of the Bowlby family the stones were removed many years ago and the location of the cemetery has been lost.

The only way to find the graves now is by using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR).

Based on the description in the 1829 deed, we know that Richard Bowlby Sr., his wife, Mary Drake and other members of the family are buried in the cemetery.
