Referred to as the "Small Cemetery, Taylor Neighborhood", by Eugene Bouton, in his genealogical research material related to some 100 families who had lived in the Town of Jefferson. [1]

Mildred Bailey, late 20th C. Jefferson Town Historian, called it "My Little Cemetery. . . . . . and for the past several years I have taken care of it and watch it carefully and perhaps a bit zealously, the one by the Potter Road. This area I now believe was settled by Beards and Gibbs. I found one reference to it as the Beard Settlement." [2,3]
