CommentThis burial ground is located behind the Nathaniel Greene Homestead, 1500 feet east of Taft Street at telephone pole #7. It is 1300 feet behind the house on a hill high over Pawtuxet River. Most of the stones are down and broken. The cemetery is 75 ft x 75 ft, in poor condition, and enclosed with a stone wall. The historic cemetery sign is in good condition. There are 14 burials with 12 inscribed stones and two fieldstones. James N. Arnold visited this lot on 27 Sept. 1905 and noted, “Near the Quidneck Railroad bridge near the river and opposite from the Quidneck factory, lot walled in good order, yard same” (Vol. 6, Book E, page 1295). Recorded by Dr. Bill Eddleman and John Sterling for a 1998 book on Coventry cemeteries
