There is no marker for Joshua Paine.
Description of the Amenia Burying Grounds from VanAlystyne, "Burying Grounds of Sharon, Conn., Amenia and North East, New York" (1903):

"The old cemetery of Amenia lies about a mile north-east of the present village. The Church Society to which it belonged was called "Carmel in the Nine Partners"; the building went by the name of the "Red Meeting House". The land for both was donated by Stephen Hopkins.

" and was buried," says the late Dr. L. C. Paine, of Albion, N. Y., who visited the place of his burial in 1856, " in the old cemetery near where the old red Meeting House stood, a little to northeast of Amenia village. There is no stone or other monument denoting the spot where his ashes repose ; but an open spot was pointed out to me by Barnabas Paine, Esq., where, he said Joshua and Constance Paine, his grand-parents, were buried."

NOTE: This memorial was originally created by Jan Franco in 2007, she was kind of enough to transfer it to me. In the process of transferring information from my duplicate memorial to hers, I inadvertently delete her original memorial instead of mine.
