This one isn't exactly out in
the middle of the woods, but there are plenty of woods throughout this small
family cemetery. All of the stones that I could easily read belonged to
members of the Carll family. A family long established in Suffolk county.
I counted about 25 stones
standing and a couple lying on the ground, but there are probably more under the
leaves. The dates I could read dated from Nov 12th, 1781 to Aug 10, 1877
[pictured below]. There are a couple of Revolutionary war soldiers buried
here - Timothy Carll, [1729-1805] Capt. in the Suffolk Co. Militia; and Platt
Carll, [1734-1811] Associator, Rev. war. There were, at my last visit,
American flags placed at these graves.
It's a shame that a cemetery
located as this one is, on a small corner lot at the intersection of two
well-traveled roads, isn't maintained at all.
