The "Griggs Burial Plot" (aka "Griggs Family Burying Ground") is located 300 feet south of Route 202 and 4200 feet east of the Route 31/202 traffic circle in Flemington, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. It measures 50 feet by 50 feet and is situated on a knoll and is distinguished by the presence of a large mulberry tree. The first burial took place in 1806 and the last in 1857. The land that the cemetery sits on probably first came into the Griggs family under the ownership of John Griggs who died ca 1805 and who married Catherine Bower. This John Griggs did inherit land from his father Daniel Griggs but it is not clear if the burial ground sits on that part of the land given to him by his father or whether it sits on land that John Griggs bought in later years. In his will, John Griggs left his land to his two unmarried daughters, Sarah and Elizabeth Griggs. They are both buried in the burial plot. Sarah died in 1853 and then after the death of Elizabeth in 1857 the property was sold at auction in 1858.
