They are all "residents" in a small cemetery that my husband and I are working on, and we would like to know them as much as possible. DEWEY - Orinda (1834-1848) - dau of Roland/Rowland & Desire Shurtliff Dewey, Mary Ferry (1810-1848) - wife of John Day Dewey, John (1790-1877), Lydia Bush (1786-1878) - wife of John, Jane H Dewey Sutherland (1828-1867) - dau of John & Lydia, Edward (1817-1901 - Civil War Vet) - son of John & Lydia, Adah Erickson Dewey (1862-1906) - wife of Edward ARCHER - Ezekiel (1800-1810), son of W (prob. William) & S Archer FERRY - Aaron (1782-1860), Elizabeth (1785-1842) FERRE - Charles E (age 3yrs 4 mos 11d), Mary E (1848-1849) - both are children of A & J Ferre McELROY - SallyAn (1851-1852), dau of James & Lucy Judson McElroy REED - Cassy A Reed Poe (1834-1855) - dau of John & Rebecca Morgan Reed & wife of Andrew Poe, Ernest Poe (Cassy's son, (1855-1855), Rebecca Reed Russell (1830-1857) - dau of John & Rebecca Morgan Reed, Reuben (1817-1849) - son of John & Rebecca Morgan Reed, John (1795-1874), Rebecca Morgan Reed (1795-1845) - wife of John, Maxy (1836-1839) - dau of John & Rebecca Morgan Reed, Franklin P (1840-1840) - son of R & BE Reed, Charles A (1849-1851) - son of William and Mary A Day Reed RUSSELL - Sarah R (1837-1839) - dau of Yale & Lucy A Woodard Russell, William H (age 12 yrs) - son of Almon & Harriet Adams Russell GRAY - Benjamin (1812-? - Civil War Vet - am especially interested in what unit he served in), Hannah G (1817-1858) - wife of Benjamin, Lucia J (1842-1856) - dau of Benjamin & Hannah, Olive L (1856-1858) - dau of Benjamin & Hannah FOLJAMBE - Rev William (1775-1851), Ann Dewhirst Foljambe (1770-1853) - wife of William Sorry for the long list. We know some information and many relationships between the "residents", but there is so much more to learn. We know that some are related to the founders of Yale University. Others to Joshua Woodard, one of the early Franklin Mills citizens and a conductor on the Underground Railroad. Any infomation or clues will help. There also may be and probably are others buried here, too. I am of the firm belief that Desire Dewey, mother of Orinda, should be buried here, as she died two days after Orinda. Thanks!
