This burying ground no longer exists. It is mentioned in the 1744 will of Esek Carr when he gave his whole estate to his son Robert: "Excepting my Burying Place where I have buryed my dead near my dwelling house." He directed his son to erect a stone wall around the graves, an area of one quarter of an acre. In 1766, when Robert sold the burying ground to Samuel Gray, he described the burying ground as 36 square rods, about one quarter acre. If for some reason it still exists, it would be located in the Holly Meadows neighborhood.
The map location is approximate.
