Ross Cemetery 

142 Hill Road, Thompson   Unknown Acreage
GPS Latitude 41.93722 Longitude -71.84702

In April 1854 Asa Ross sold 200 acres of land known as the Wheaton Farm to his son Lowell N. Ross. The deed states “ the burying lot on said farms as laid out…..” This is clearly a family cemetery with only three surnames listed….. Ballou, Ross and Thomton. Asa’s daughters Roxa married Arnold Ballou and his daughter Mary E. married Joseph Fenner. The earliest burial is that of Fenner Thomton in 1815 who is Asa’s grandson.

This cemetery is located on private property in the center of a field. The deed (Vol. 465, p. 294) contains the right of way to the cemetery.

The Quaddick Cemetery in the document section below may help in locating a tombstone; this is the original Hale’s List of Cemetery Inscriptions which records the gravestone locations as the person who collected the information walked through the cemetery.
