Rutenburg Lot
Also known as Rhode Island Historical Cemetery Warwick #502
Warwick, Kent County, Rhode Island, USA
The "Old Dish" is a pond area on the old Wynn property between Forge Rd. and the head of the Cove. Developing is taking place there now but not in the area so described. Rufus Waterman, in his book "The Annals of My Home at The Grange with Notices of the Other Places at Potowomut 1654-1880" said: "The westerly part of the Grange was originally owned by John Rutenburg, but on the 11th of January, 1730, his son Solomon sold the 'land, dwelling house, and all other buildings and orchard' to Benjamin Greene, son of Jabez. The house where the Rutenbergs lived was situated in the 'Old Dish,' westerly from the spring. Capt. Joe Spencer remembers seeing the deserted and decaying remains of it nearly seventy-five years ago [ca. 1805]. The family burying ground, with quite a number of graves, is still [ca. 1880] to be seen from the brow of the hill. There is a beautiful site for a house on this lot, commanding a fine view of Greenwich Bay, besides an attractive inland view and the 'Old Dish,' the pond and the graceful undulations of the land would develop finely in the hands of a skillful landscape gardener and undoubtedly it will be built upon and improved before many years have passed away."
