There are 32 cemeteries in Epping if my count on the geodetic map back in the 60s was correct. Many were in fields that are now forest. If anyone has an interest in Tilton family I can describe where it is.

Quite frankly, very few of the earliest : settlers in Epping could afford proper gravestones. Their graves are : probably marked with uninscribed field stones or are unmarked. : : << It doesn't appear to me that whoever did this research actually went over : the fence and explored to see if they could find anything. I don't know how : they know it is a Cook-French cemetery.>> : : I can testify that the Williamsons, who did the research, were very : thorough. If it says there are no visible stones in the cemetery, then I : doubt you could find any. Since there are no stones, I'm not sure how this : was identified as a Cook-French graveyard, but it probably came from old : town records or from deeds. : : If you are trying to locate graveyards in New Hampshire, The New Hampshire : Society of Genealogists, in cooperation with the New Hampshire Old Graveyard : Association has a master listing on their web site, : http://www.tiac.net/users/nhsog/. Click on "N.H. Old Graveyard Association : database" and then on "NHOGA Master Burial Site Listing". The graveyards are : indexed by town and by graveyard name state-wide. The web pages have the UTM : coordinates for plotting the location on USGS maps. The amount of : information is limited, but these pages can help you find these old : graveyards fairly easily. The UTM coordinates for your particular graveyard : are E33491, N477007. There is an explanation on the NHSOG web site of how to : use these coordinates. : : I don't know when I will be in Epping next, but I will try to locate the : graveyard next time I'm passing through. : : Regards, : Clark Bagnall : Recording Secretary : New Hampshire Old Graveyard Association :
