In Sullivan, by a turnoff off U.S. Route 1, is a moderate stone monument and smaller markers nearby for Paul Dudley Sargent.
The marker is located on the bottom of a slope from the turnoff, on the south side of U.S. Route 1. It is a stone marker about six feet high, and covered in lichen. The words are hard to read. A historical marker by the turn off shows the words more clearly in a photograph -
"Paul Dudley Sargent
1828"
On the north side of the marker and up the slope are two other stone markers that may be corners to a cemetery plot. By the monument an American flag has been planted.
The area is possibly a common for the town of Sullivan. There is a road that runs along the base of the slope and there are a few houses. That's it. Nothing else is by the monument.
I could not find anything about this particular lot. There was no listing for it in findagrave.com or other similar sites. Thus, I can't tell if this is for one or several graves, such as a family. The historical marker at the turn off provides no information.
Paul Dudley Sargent was a veteran in the American Revolutionary War, and the first Justice of Hancock County.
