In the book "History of the Town of Easton, Massachusetts", by William L. Chaffin, he states about the graveyard: "It contains three graves, one of a child which has no inscribed headstone. Of the other two, which have strong and well made headstones."

The graveyard was originally on the homestead of George Wilbur. Later, the homestead became the farm of Peter McDermott. Still later, the farm became part of the estate of Oakes & Blanche Ames. In 1971, the estate became Borderland State Park.
