Notes
Burial
Also known as: Burial Hill, Rhode Island Historical Cemetery Barrington #7.There were 100 graves here with Renew being the oldest marked grave as of 1939. I found this cemetery and it is not where the 1939 directions say it is. The entrance is at telephone pole #33 on Warren Avenue in Swansea, MA. You go down a grass road (blocked off so you have to walk) 3000'. It overlooks 100 Acre Cove.
