CommentOn the west side of Boston Neck Road (Rte. 1A), at the Casey Farm south of Saunderstown. The farmhouse is set back from the road in fields crossed by well made stone walls. The entrance to the farm is marked by a sign. The burial ground is behind the farmhouse. The cemetery is owned by Historic New England (no longer called SPNEA) and people interested in visiting should call the Site Manager at 401-295-1030 or email CaseyFarm@historicnewengland.org. The cemetery is included in tours of the farm, offered by appointment, or on a regular basis from June 1 through October 15. Arnold visited this graveyard on 25 April 1880, his #54, "on the land of Col. Thomas Lincoln Casey opposite of the yard above described (NK066) is a burial yard of their family, lot walled and fenced and kept in good order." Recorded by Althea McAleer, Beatrix Hoffius, and Deby Nunes for a 1992 book on North Kingstown cemeteries.
