This one is right in the middle of what was a hundred and more years ago the largest farm in town. It was over 1200 acres and spanned from Sweets Hill at the bend in East Ave all the way to spring lake. The historical society has plenty of old photos of the farm when it was in operation.
Wow, years back my boss told me she found a smallpox cemetery in the woods. The great thing about new england is you can't throw a rock without hitting something interesting
Edward Ross Jr. Was.killed at Spotsylvannia on May 12, 1864. He was a member of the 57th Massachusetts Infantry. His mother was the Deborah White you mentioned. He was a farmer.
Wild ferns growing everywhere, amazing. Growing up in Texas, I remember the first time we visited relatives in Massachusetts in the 1980s and I explored the woods near the house, could not believe ferns all over. Beautiful old cemetery, peaceful. Must be careful, the Ixodida Cartographic is a cunning little bugger.
@@mox3909sorry, I didn't get to this sooner. It's located somewhere left of center in the Oak Grove Cemetery. It's been about 40 years since I've been there, though I grew in Ashaway.
Dude, the white pines are awesome, and I love old cemeteries like that! This channel rocks You should check out the Sunderland Sycamore in Sunderland Ma. if you haven’t yet
"Eww, old quarry water". What? No "Sip Trip"? Lol. JK, I love what you do. You're very respectful of history. Subscribed. The humor in your work is very well-placed. I'm from Somerville, MA, and remember as a child that the Mystic River used to come right up to Mystic Ave. As you drove along it you could see boats in the Marina in puddles when the tide went out. Sunken boats were visible then, and people were out there clamming. Now I 93 moved the river. It's kind of sad. Although not as sad as what happened to Miller River. What's left of that is across from the Museum of Science.
This is sweet. I've always had a fascination with graveyards for some reason. Used to hang out in Oakwood cemetery a lot in college (Syracuse New York), a super interesting and pretty huge cemetery with some cool monuments. Seeing this small graveyard isolated in the woods makes me want to go explore something like that myself. It's also interesting someone maintains the soldier's grave, how far of a hike into the woods is this place?
3:51 mark sounds either like a shotgun at 150 yards or a high power rifle at 300 yards. I know, 2 years too late. You still make content, so I know you didn't accidentally get bodied by a hunter, yet. Be careful in some of these woods trips. Maybe start wearing a bright orange safety vest, especially during deer season. Also you may wanna start looking up if your area is a registered hunting ground. Accidents do happen. Stay safe out there. I actually like your videos.
Hey man I found this PDF that shows many of the cemeteries around Rhode Island including the Morrey-Ross one (bu044) that you show in the video. It shows a lot with specific locations and longitude latitude, etc. theusgenweb.org/rigenweb/cemetery/CemeteryDescriptions.pdf Also, there's a FB group you may already be aware of, but there's a cool guide to the symbols on the graves: m.facebook.com/BurrillvilleHistoricalCemeteries/photos/a.912897962063650/4213434495343297/ Anyway awesome vids!
This has a list of the people buried there, so I guess it's a couple of families plots who were quite local to the area. Makes me wonder about their lives. rihistoriccemeteries.org/newlistgraves.aspx?ceme_no=BU044 On the Wikipedia page for Burrillville the census info shows that in 1840 the population dropped from 2,196 to 1,982, a huge 9.7% drop, whereas the rest of America had a population increase 32.7% from 1830s to 1840s. You can see that 2 infants died that year from the Ross family. I wonder what it was that killed them and caused the population decrease.. I also found Deborah's death record, but I can't read cursive. It shows her place of birth, death, date of death, parents full names, and also cause of death. www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-63XS-RVC?cc=2146229&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3ADXMW-VG2M
"I'm beginning to think my map was written by ticks in order to lure me out here" LMAO.....

That Civil War KIA grave is worth the hike to the cemetery alone.
my favorite line was you thanking edward. so cute.

Imagine getting to walk out here every summer to refresh the American flag at Edward Jr's grave

You see the history of the trees!! 😊
Wow. The forests in your area are beautiful.
It's crazy to me, that there are still people visiting there places (and leaving flags).
Well done. There's a gravestone in Ashaway, RI to a soldier that states he died of wounds attained at the Battle of Antietam.
What's it called? I'm right by there.

We have a lot of these kinds of cemeteries around Jackson County Arkansas.
Informative and calming as usual!

There's a private shooting range a few miles away from this site which was probably the bang that you heard.
