12 Footnotes [1] Ontario County Clerk. Incorporations Book 1. p The incorporation papers give the official name as Evergreen Cemetery Association. [2] Naples Library cemetery book lists this cemetery found in 1942 as Graveyard Hill. It contained graves with six family names: Reynolds, Fitch, Jones, Waldron, Damon, Reynolds. Readings of stones in Naples book which was distributed to DAR and is also found in separate old bound Naples cemetery book at Ontario County Historical [3] Cited in Naukam, Lawrence. Ontario County, N.Y. Cemetery Record Index. (Rochester, NY: Rochester Genealogical Soc., 1987) p. 1. [4] Ontario County Land Records. Liber 127. p Deed for land describing the cemetery location but not [5] Ontario County Clerk. Incorporations Book 1. pp The name of the corporation is the Canadice Hill Rural Cemetery Association. Although the specific piece of land is not named, the Corners cemetery is located at the intersection of Canadice Hill Road with the two roads named. [6] While this cemetery has been known for some time, it has never been read and there are no records. Residents suspect that it was a family cemetery. Its listing here is based on the testimony of witnesses that it does, indeed, exist. To date, no stones have been found. [7] See pamphlet: Rev. James T. Dougherty. Diamond Jubilee. St. Mary's Church of Canandaigua, New York (Canandaigua, NY: The Church, 1919) [8] See pamphlet: The "Old Cemetery" at Canandaigua, N.Y.

Minutes of the Trustees (Jan. 11, 1856) direct selling of lots. [10] See pamphlet: Quarter Century Report of Canandaigua Cemetery Association. Canandaigua, New York. Woodlawn Cemetery (Canandaigua, NY: Ontario County Times Presses, 1909). See: Ontario County Clerk. Incorporations Book 1. pp [11] Ontario County Clerk Incorporations. Book 6. p A note was made in the book index that incorporation papers for the academy Cemetery Corporation were filed on Jul. 22, 1936 but not recorded. A certificate of incorporation was recorded on Jul. 24, [12] Ontario County Clerk. Incorporations Book 3. pp [13] Naukam. p. 5. No other local source gives any indication of this cemetery. Naukam states that it is probably found on Town Lot 107 which does not appear to be in that location. The Rochester Public Library is said to have a two-page list of readings made in A later edition of the Naukam publication calls this cemetery the Power Cemetery which is situated as described only on County Rd. 41, not Town Line Rd. In a letter to the County Historian, Preston E. Pierce, dated Oct. 9, 1998, Elaine Brown stated that this cemetery does exist separately from the Power Cemetery. [Historian s Cemetery File.] [14] Ontario County Clerk. Incorporations Book 4. p. 89. The incorporation certificate refers to the cemetery as being in the village. [15] This cemetery may sometimes be called Sand Hill. [16] See: Rosalie Munson. "Rice Burying Ground. Its Origins & Its Future. Academy Chronicles. East Bloomfield Historical Society [17] Naukam. p. 9. One page of readings is supposed to be on deposit at the Rochester Public Library. This is likely the Reed Cemetery in the Town of Richmond. 1

13 [18] A map sketched by Town Historian, Lewis F. Allen, 1939, indicates burial site in northwest corner of property near County Rd. #41. Map in County Historian s cemetery file. In a letter to Historian, Preston Pierce, dated Oct. 9, 1998, Elaine K. Brown stated her belief that stones were in the woods just south of the Lapham House. [County Historian s Cemetery File.] [19] Ontario County Clerk. Incorporations Book 6. pp It appears that the Certificate of Incorporation for Salem Cemetery Association was filed in error, then refiled. [20] In a letter to Historian, Preston E. Pierce, dated Oct. 9, 1998, Elaine Brown indicated that two stones could be seen in the 1950 s when the Thruway was built. [Historian s Cemetery File.] [21] Naukam. p. 11. This is probably the cemetery at the Race Track. It appears on the 1904 Atlas of Ontario County. In a letter to the Historian, Preston E. Pierce, dated Oct. 9, 1998, Elaine Brown indicated that this cemetery was in the middle of the field when she was a child and had only 2 or 3 stones. [Historian s Cemetery Pierce, dated Oct. 9, 1998, Elaine Brown stated ther her grandparents owned this farm from She believes the University of Rochester did some testing on remains found at the time the racetrack was built. Brown indicates that Kasson Crooker, who lived in Bloomfield, took the stones. The stones were at the home of Beatrice Crooker in the 1950 s. Brown states that Samuel Cooper was buried there as is his wife. [Historian s Cemetery File.] [23] See: E. Thayles Emmons. The Story of Geneva. (Geneva, NY: Finger Lakes Times, 1982) pp [24] See: Arthur P. Rose. Geneva Courier. Jun. 13, [25] See: Rose Naukam, 1987, p. 14 also cites this cemetery. [26] See: Rose [27] Naukam. p. 13. Records supposed to be at Geneva Historical Soc. [28] The Brown Cemetery sometimes listed on the south side of Kashong Rd. is the same as this Barnes/Brown. Old maps make it appear that Kashong Road was rerouted over the years so that as far back as 1852 and 1859 a cemetery appeared on the north side of the road. [29] This is probably one cemetery more properly named for the Ringer family. Several members of the Clise family are buried here. [30] Ontario County Clerk. Incorporations A certificate of incorporation was filed Jan. 23, 1948 for St. Mary s Cemetery of Geneva, New York, Inc. but it was never recorded, and probably was not approved by the Secretary of State. [31] Naukam. p. 15. Records available at Geneva Historical Soc. Last grave Thirteen graves total. A research paper on this cemetery, written by a Geneva High School student in the early 1980 s, is available at the Ontario County Historical Society in the Geneva volume of cemetery readings. [32] Privately owned (by Eleanor Elz, 1999) and still in use. [33] There is some question whether or not this cemetery is actually within the Town of Phelps. It borders Nicholson Cemetery.

[35] Ontario County Clerk. Incorporations pp The incorporation states the name as the Dwelle Cemetery Association although that name has not been applied to the cemetery in modern times. It specifies that the cemetery is based upon a deed from Parly Gates and is located on Lot 49 in the Town of Gorham near a school, a description which fits Baldwin s Corners. [36] This cemetery has been listed as Hawley, or Hawley-Taylor since a reading done in No members of the Hawley or Taylor families are buried here. The property belonged to Ethan Lord who lived nearby and is buried in the cemetery. The erroneous listing dates from at least 1965 when a local genealogist distributed a reading with the name Hawley-Taylor. For verification of the correct name see: Ontario County land records.

It has not been known as Denham Cemetery in modern times. [39] Ontario County Clerk. Incorporations. Book p ; Ontario County land records, Liber 29, p In the deed for the cemetery Joseph Wood sold the land to James McFarson and John Goodwin, Jun., the trustees of school District No. #6 of the Town of Gorham. The 1874 Atlas of Ontario County, and the 1859 map of the county (located at RAIMS, and other places), both indicate that Reed s Corners was in District #8. However, McIntosh s 1876 History of Ontario County (p. 152) indicates that the first school in the area was on the same lot as the Congregational Church. The deed description within Lot #54 is undoubtedly Reed s Corners. Either the school district was renumbered or an error in numbering was made since District #6 was not on Lot #54. [40] This cemetery has also been known as Washburn-Conklin Cemetery. Conklin Cemetery is sometimes listed separately. These listings are erroneous. See: Ontario County land records.

The names on the 1875 incorporation papers are all listed as buried in what is now known as Purcell Cemetery. The incorporators met at the old Baptist Church "in the vicinity." [75] On some sets of readings the Richmond Center Cemetery is also called Reed Cemetery. The readings carried the Reed name over from a single page of readings done at the same time which are really an extract from the readings of the Purcell/Curtiss Cemetery.

Incorporations Book 1. pp The incorporation calls this the "Log Meeting House Cemetery near Halls Corners, Town of Seneca, and specifies that it is situated on Lot 81 of the town.

The names of two members of the Quayle family are included in readings of this cemetery in the County Historian s Office, however. Moreover, the same names appear on the lists for Gulick, McGreavy, and Frosttown Cemeteries. A reading taken in the 1930 s, and deposited at the Rochester Public Library, calls Frosttown Cemetery "Gulick Gorge." [89] See: Charles F. Milliken.

According to Fisher, several graves were left including those for Seneca Boughton, Mary Dickinson Parks, and other members of the Parks family. "All stone markers are missing except the monument with the Parks name on it." [96] See: J. Sheldon Fisher. "Days of Victor s Past." The Daily Messenger. (Canandaigua, NY) Aug. 6, p The Fishers Abandoned Cemetery may be the same cemetery J. Sheldon Fisher calls the Fisher family cemetery in Fishers. He indicated that five burials from the "family cemetery" had been removed to Boughton Hill Cemetery in [97] Letter: Elaine K. Brown to Preston Pierce,, County Historian s cemetery file. Since Jabez, who built the house, and his wife, Jemima, and their children arenot found elsewhere they may be at this location. [98] See: J. Sheldon Fisher [99] See: J. Sheldon Fisher [100] Letter: Elaine K. Brown to Preston Pierce,, 1996, County Historian s cemetery file. Mrs. Brown indicates that Thomas Lane, who moved away from Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario during War of 1813 is probably not buried in Lane Cemetery despite published information (See: Fisher article) and that both the stones of John Lloyd Lane and Sarah Lane were found being used as door steps. [101] See: J. Sheldon Fisher [102] See: J. Sheldon Fisher Fisher states that Lucy Parsons, wife of Joshua Ketchum, is buried at this site. Mrs. Elaine K. Brown, in a 1996 letter to County Historian, Preston Pierce, points out that Lucy Ketchum has a stone and is buried in Boughton Hill Cemetery just in front of her sister Jerusha Seymour. See: Letter, 1996, County Historian s cemetery file. [103] See: J. Sheldon Fisher [104] Letter: Elaine K. Brown, to Preston Pierce,, County Historian s cemetery file. Mrs. Brown states that Abigail Boughton Smith, daughter of Hezekiah and sister of Jared, settled on the farm with husband Nicholas Smith. She found a coroner s report in Ontario County Archive stating that burial was made on the farm. None of Abigail s family is buried on Boughton Hill so they are probably in this location. [105] See: J. Sheldon Fisher which is questioned by researchers but is noted here because of media publication. See letter: Elaine K. Brown to Preston Pierce,, Mrs. Brown indicates that the Proprietor s Church Cemetery is between a small white house on Moore Ave. opposite the parking lot and the church site on the hill above. That was the old Kendall lot. The deed, a copy of which Mrs. Brown sent to Rose Fagan, Victor Town Historian, indicates the presence of the cemetery. [106] Ontario County Clerk.
