In reference to these questions:

"Do they know yet? (about the bodies)
Can anyone go and have a look? Thanks!"

I do not believe that they know yet, since there are no markers remaining. I have photos of the property that I will send out with the map. I would not advise walking there without permission from the present owners, since there is no way to access it without crossing private property. While it is theoretically a graveyard, there is no record, in Cumberland County deeds, of the graveyard. The only paper evidence we could find is an eyewitness account of the precise location of the graves and old markers by Charles E. Sheppard (once Cumberland County Historian and Dare Family Association Historian) located at the Cumberland County Historical Library in Greenwich. I misplaced the maps, that I had planned to scan and email, in a pile of papers somewhere in my office and am still trying to relocate them! So in a week or two I will be emailing them out. All attempts so far, to contact the very young new owners has not resulted in even a face to face conversation. It is the old Dare Family Farm graveyard including the remains of William Dare III. We have 20 pages of descendants of these people. The Dare Family Association would eventually like to relocate the bodies to a public graveyard.
