History:
The cemetery was established in 1832 following the generous donation of ½ acre of land around 1830 by Charles King. The land was part of an original 100-acre patent from the Crown. It remained active until 1960 when the last interment occurred.
In 1868 Charles King sold his land to Robert Craig. In 1869 Robert Craig sold the half acre cemetery collectively to Henry King, Robert McLeod, James Jackson, Edward McBride, Charles Irvine, and James Savage, who are assumed to be trustees of the cemetery as the land registry title states that it is “now enclosed by a fence for the use of a burying ground and for no other use.”
