CommentFollow trail north of Mail Rd across from Kingston Rd. about 3/4 mi. You will pass a small cabin west of the trail and a cellar hole east of the trail. Go another 600 ft. and cemetery is 100 ft west of the trail and can be seen from the trail. Can also be reached from Dawley Rd off School Land Rd. James Arnold recorded this lot 21 Mar 1880 "In fenced lot on bank east side of Queens River north of house now occupied by Henry Hathaway a yard of the Sherman family…" This cemetery was found, registered and recorded by John Sterling & James Good for their 1994 book on Exeter cemeteries.
