Inscription

Top Photo is Surrender of General Burgoyne
Gates center, with arms outstretched. Timothy Ayer saw Revolutionary War Service at this event. According to find a grave contributor who photographed the graves of Timothy's parents and inlaws who are all buried in this cemetery,there were some unreadible and unmarked stones and some fieldstones in the cemetery. He could not verify a marked gravesite for Timothy Ayer and wife, Elizabeth Hazen Ayer. Both their parents are in this cemetery. Therefore, we can only assume they are there too.
