    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: 1_derek855 Surnames: Place Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.otsego/1619.6/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Cora - The following link lists the people buried at Merithew cemetery along Briar Creek road in Otego, including several people with the Place surname. Maybe it's of some help. http://theusgenweb.org/ny/otsego/cemetery/prospect.htm This webpage also indicates that Philip Merithew, a soldier of the Revolution, is buried there, and cites Arthur Place's family bible as source of the information! If you have access to this bible, would you possibly be able to verify this reference to Merithew's burial? If you could provide a transcription of what is written (or better still, a photo of the actual page) I would be most appreciative. I am keen to corroborate that there's indeed a Revolutionary soldier burial at this location since I own the neighboring farm.
