CommentThis cemetery is located two hundred feet south of Mooresfield Road at telephone pole # 3614. It is next to #810 Moorsfield Road, and just east of the junction with Broad Rock Road. It is 75 feet x 65 feet, in excellent condition, enclosed with a metal fence. The historical cemetery sign is missing. This burial ground contains 68 marked burials with 42 inscribed stones and 26 fieldstones. James N. Arnold recorded this lot July 19, 1880, his #101, “on land of Daniel Rodman a few rods south of his house is a burial yard of his family and relatives, lot granite curbed and iron fenced on 3 sides, lot in good order.” Charles and Martha Benns recorded this lot in 1935 and numbered it #457. Recorded by John Sterling and James Wheaton for a 2004 book on South Kingstown cemeteries.
