This cemetery was located at the north bend of River Raisin, on Washington Street in the village of Manchester, Michigan. No tombstones are now seen on the property. Currently a housing subdivision is located at this site. These names were on slips of paper found in the records of the Sarah Caswell Angell Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution at the Bentley Historical Library (formerly Michigan Historical Collections). This reading is not dated and the reader is not named. The form used on the papers has a line for names of parents and another line for names of husband or wife, following by space for additional information. This information may have been obtained from personal knowledge and may not have appeared on the tombstones. All of this is from a contribution by Nancy H. Krohn, Ann Arbor that was published in the Family History Capers, Vol. 25, No. 2, pages 29-30, Fall 2001.
