Marshfield Burying Ground, Purchasers of Plots -

Below are purchasers of plots at the abandoned cemetery on Route 75 (Sisson Highway) and Marshfield Road, North Collins. At one time, this  hamlet of Marshfield had it's own post office. It is now part of the Town of North Collins. It is not known, at this time, how many graves were in each plot, but standard for the time would have been six. There is no known official list of burials. The cemetery is located on two gentle hills just southeast of the above intersection. The apparently unsold row of plots (#57-#70) appears to be the low spot between the two hills. The cemetery is laid out in rows of 14 plots each with the numbering of plots beginning on the south side of the cemetery and running north from southwest corner. Rows beginning with plot #71, plot #85, and plot #99 are located on the north hill.  Rows beginning with plot #1, plot #15, plot #29, and plot #43 are located on the south hill. Plots listed as "--" do not list a purchaser. There is also no indication on the plot registry of any year, but most burials were c. 1840
through about 1900 as indicated by stones remaining now.

Wilcox Cemetery - Intersection of Quaker and Wilcox Roads, first intersection south of the hamlet of Shirley which is now part of the Town of North Collins. There is a very old Quaker Cemetery at the intersection of Quaker and Wilcox Roads, North Collins.  This is the first intersection south of the hamlet of Shirley which is now part of the Town of North Collins. At one time, the original log Quaker Meeting House in North Collins was located immediately north of the Quaker-Wilcox intersection and the cemetery was on the corner. The log Meeting House was destroyed by fire c. 1900.

 

There were several private cemeteries in the town which no longer have stones showing. One was near the intersection of Jennings and Shirley Roads, another at the intersection of Eden Road and School St.. The original Congregational Church Cemetery was located just north of the intersection of what is now School St. and Route 62 (at that time, it was called Church St. and Main St.). At some point, I don't have the date, it was moved to what is now North Collins Cemetery on Route 62 south of the Village of North Collins but in the Town of North Collins. This is the location where the original Hicksite Quaker Cemetery on Route 62 was located and the Hicksite Meeting House still stands in the southern section near Route 62.

New Oregon

Sweet Family Cemetery - Located on private property off the New Oregon Road in a field way off the road in New Oregon. It`s about a mile on the right from New Oregon 4 corners. There`s not but a few houses there. The cemetery is back by the woods and there`s a field in the front. You can probably see the metal fence from the road. (Barbara Durfee)
