CommentLocated next to #42 Watch Hill Rd. Frederic Denison recorded this lot 1867-8; This is south of Mastuxet Brook, on the slope of the hill, east of the highway leading to Lottery Village. It is perhaps the largest, and it is one of the oldest of the ancient burial places in the town. This contains John Babcock and his wife Mary, and many of their descendants. We copy from the inscriptions of the tombstones of all persons above the age of twenty, taking only the names and dates. Recorded in 1991 by John E. Sterling.
