Comments
Originally part of the Allen Farm, this was a family burial ground. A stone wall, with an iron gate, surrounds the cemetery. A memorial marker was placed here in 1931 for the 250th Anniversay of Samuel Allens' arrival in 1681 on the ship Bristol Factor and for establishing the farm in 1682. There are about 20 headstones remaining, many with only initials. The earliest visible date is 1830. The cemetery is in its original location. Interstate 95 curves around it.
Thanks to volunteer Peg Felter for gathering information on this cemetery
