I need a Physical address for this cemetery, the one grave marked is Elizabeth Shipley born 1804 and died 1849. I plan to visit this fall and need address, I will be placing some markers. Caleb Shipley is also buried there.
Thank you.
The closest thing to an address according to Google Maps is 853 Cobblestone Place – but it is really located in a field some distance behind that address. Woodmont Ave runs in between that address and entrance to the field. Very overgrown, good luck with your trip. And if you will send us photos and names on the markers you set, we will be glad to include them here for you.
Thank you, I will keep you posted.
