Per the town of Hampton, NH's webpage for the Shaw Cemetery:

"A genealogy of the Robie family (Robey, William Grafton, Jr., "Robey/Roby/Robie: The Family History from Early England to America," 1994, p.9) states that the immigrant Henry Robie married, as his third wife, a Sarah Shaw, and both of them were buried in the Shaw Cemetery. It says that while no stone marked the grave of Henry there was a stone marking the grave of Sarah. By the time these Shaw cemetery records were first compiled in the 1980s there was no stone for a Sarah Shaw or Sarah Robie, so it is likely that the author of the Robie genealogy was quoting the work of a much earlier genealogist who may have seen a stone that once was there. Other credible sources state that the name of Robie's third wife is not known, and there is no unclaimed Sarah Shaw in the Shaw family to explain where she would fit..."

Difficult to find, but if you park just south of the campground entrance you can walk from there. Be careful crossing the street!
