WENHAM CEMETERY, CARVER, MA. 30APR2012 PT2

The Wenham Cemetery contains graves of distant cousins from the Barrows,
Dunham, and Faunce families. This post will deal with the Barrows family. My
immigrant ancestor was John Barrowe/Barrow/Barrows and I'm descended from
his son Robert, my 7x great grandfather, and then his son George Barrows. The
Barrows family members I found buried in the Wenham Cemetery descend
from another of Robert's sons, John Barrows.

My 3rd cousin 5x removed Asa Barrows.

His wife Deborah Dewey
Their children Isaac, Asa, and Almira Barrows


Their granddaughter, Jane (Barrows) Skinner
Next, the Dunhams.

WENHAM CEMETERY, CARVER, MA. 30APR2012 PT1

Wenham Cemetery in Carver Ma. dates from 1770 and is also known as the
East Carver Cemetery. It's located on Wenham Rd which passes by several
cranberry bogs along the way. I visited it on a warm April afternoon in 2012
looking for cousins from my Dunham and Barrows lines.


 



The woods at the back of the cemetery. I wonder if those steps were for kids or a hunter?  
The view from the back of the cemetery across Wenham Rd. towards a cranberry bog.   


Next post, what and who I found there.
