Commentlocated 300 feet southwest of Harrison Street and 300 feet north of Capt. John Wightman Lane behind the first house on the north side. It is walled with entrance on west side. Neat and cared for although some stones are displaced Sign standing. Arnold recorded this lot 29 March 1883, his #136, "On land of Mr. Wightman north of his farm house a burial yard of the family, wall in good order, yard somewhat neglected." Recorded by Althea McAleer, Beatrix Hoffius, and Deby Nunes for a 1992 book on North Kingstown cemeteries.
