CommentBuilt up to 24 inches with a fine stone wall, then filled in with dirt. No evidence of grave stones. Looks like the Weaver Rose Lot in North Kingstown. remains removed to Knotty Oak Cemetery, Coventry in 1896; see WG council records. 30 Oct. 1896 John Matteson, Nelson Andrews, and Halsy J. Briggs [H/O Jane Andrews] had leave to disinter and remove from this town the remains of their children and relatives now buried here. John Andrews died in 1896 and probably precipitated the purchase of a family plot in Woodland Cemetery in Coventry. Recorded by James Arnold June 25, 1894 (Vol. 30 pg 56-61) "Beside the road farther west [from WG046] lot protected by a brick wall, yard in good order." Recorded by Blanche Albro in the 1970s Recorded by John Sterling in 1992 GPS coordinates 41 deg. 38' 54.48"N x 71 deg. 36' 06.98"W
