CommentLocated at the eastern end of Wine Street with Wine Street on the south and railroad tracks on the east side. Also known at Elder John Gorton Burial Ground. James Arnold recorded this lot 19 Mar 1894, The Elder John Gorton Meeting House which stood on Division St. had connected with the lot a burial yard. The lot is in very bad repair and many of the graves have rude stone markers and probably many graves have become obliterated by carelessness and neglect. Those that have inscribed stones among the few, placed without much order. Recorded by Bruce MacGunnigle for a 1991 book on East Greenwich cemeteries.
