Sherman Lot
Also known as Rhode Island Historical Cemetery North Kingstown #40
North Kingstown, Washington County, Rhode Island, USA
This cemetery is located at 69 Thomas Anthony Road (a cul-de-sac), off of Shermantown Road. It is also known as Rhode Island Historical Cemetery, North Kingstown #40; Burgess #19; and Harris #XIX. When visited in 2014, the cemetery consisted of only two graves sitting next to a driveway, very near the road. Of the two graves, one was marked with a veteran's marker, and the other with field stones.
This is likely the cemetery that George Harris visited on 18 March 1880 located "a short distance east of the house of the late William H. Knowles on side hill." At that time he counted 30 large and 11 small graves all marked with rude stones. Harris was told that "the first Sherman who settled in this country is buried here" but other cemeteries can also claim this distinction. The foregoing material is largely from the book Graveyards of North Kingstown, Rhode Island by McAleer, Hofius, and Nunes, 1992, Lot 40.
