This cemetery is located on the
hill behind Kingdom Hall on the lower Trenton Road in the town
of Deerfield. The cemetery is not maintained
at all and has been totally destroyed. The large
Weaver family stone is lying on the ground
about 15’ from the base of the stone and has been
broken. There is another base several
feet behind the base for the Weaver stone but no remains
found of the tombstone. One single
tombstone is buried in the ground but all that remains is “age 8 days”.
The transcription of the stones found
were taken on May 1, 2003 by Kathleen Last and Virginia
Ackerman. The listing below was compiled
by the Oneida Chapter, NSDAR in November 1924.
