This cemetery is located on the Great Road (1.7 miles north of Highway 302) just north of the Glover farm. No one knows the time or exact spot of the first burial here. The land belonged to Dominicus Gray, but was sold to John Darling on October 9, 1795. This strip of land became part of the Darling farm, later owned by Harry Welch. The land was later sold to families of those buried there, to include the Darling, Taisey, Gray, Emery, Hatch, Low, Hosmer, and Bragdon families.
The last internment was that of Janet (Brock) Darling, wife of John Darling Jr in 1889. Some remains have been removed to the Village Cemetery; the entire Job Welton family, some of the Hatch family, and perhaps others. Bradbury Morrison and Robert Taisey, though buried here have monuments in the larger cemetery in Groton.
