Duck River Cemetery

[1] The earliest surviving grave marker dates from 1676 and was carved by William Stanclift, Renold Marvin's gravestone.

[2] The Stanclift shop remained popular into the 1740s carving both headstones and table slab monuments.

Wealthy customers also opted for stones carved and imported by the skilled carvers of Boston and Newport including The John Stevens Shop, Hans Christian Geyer, and John Homer, the latter two of Boston.

Two Eastern Connecticut schist markers by John Hartshorne and Josiah Manning are also present.

[1] A tidal stream known as the Duck River and a salt marsh bisect the burying ground.
