I have a family history book written by Axel Hayford Reed in 1915. In this book he mentions many family members buried in this cemetery as well as some of the inscriptions on some of the tombstones. He says he visited this cemetery in 1875 on Aug. 22 and refers to it as "the Old Burying Ground". He list family names of Read (later changed to Reed), Sampson, Bisbee (named changed spelling from Besbedge), Ellis,. Hayford, Dunham, Hutchison, and Bicknell. Is this cemetery still known in the Hartford area? Has the cemetery been moved or destroyed? If one visited Maine would it be possible to visit it? The book is not always acurate, but I believe this cemetery may have existed or still exist as his inscription are all in quotes. A researcher in OR Karla
