This is a family cemetery plot
Location and Description
From:
Tolland Town Hall
241 West Granville Road
Tolland, MA 01034-9403
Take Schoolhouse Road North for about 2 1/2 miles - take 1st right turn onto an unnamed trail. The Cemetery is just about 6/10ths of a mile down the trail - on the right. The trail is inhospitable to motor vehicle traffic and can be reached, for the most part, only on foot.
There is a stone wall surrounding the plot - the Tolland Town Website states there are five graves here, and previously there were only four marker stones visible.
Recently two more grave markers, small headstones indicating infant/child burials, have been discovered.
Walter W. Babcock, his wife Betsey - their young married daughter, Elizabeth Babcock Boies, and her infant are grouped together. One of the child's markers has the initials B.H. This is the marker most likely to be Elizabeth's baby, based on location.
The other child's grave marker has only a single letter that is decipherable - R. and it is much further away from the other headstones. Perhaps this is the 1807 burial that the Tolland Town website has on record.
Most surprising was the discovery of another grave. Joseph, son of Walter and Betsey Babcock.
