5X 150 burials A refreshing open space in a very
built-up
neighborhood, the cemetery is surrounded by a chain link
fence. Clearly many of the stones have disappeared as there
are wide grassy patches. Presumably many of the people noted in Quaker
records are actually buried here---but we may never know because the
stones have gone or were, in the early Quaker way, never inscribed.
Some of the names in the database come from Alden Beaman's
transcription (AGB), some from the continuing efforts of Len Panaggio
(LP). A note in Quaker records for Jacob Mott who died in 1779 at age
88 (perhaps in Newport, perhaps not) gives an interesting glimpse of
the past of this cemetery. It says that he was buried in his own
ground, "the meeting house and yard [this cemetery] occupied by
Hessians."
