Re: First Ward Cemetery
I found the following on Onondaga County Rootsweb. Is this thesame cemetery?
William Ward died in 1795, and was first buried in the Ward cemetery near today's Kinloch Commons, just west of Limestone Creek on W. Seneca St. His second burial site is in Christ Church cemetery. Ward's gravestone at this latter site is a beautiful work of art (see footnote 30).
30. This was the Ward cemetery, once located in the present Kinloch Commons. The old burying ground was sold by the Ward heirs to Reuben Bennett in 1821. Obviously, these bodies were removed to Christ Church cemetery before this date.
