Hillman's Burial Plot
At the time of this writing, no further information is known of this cemetery than what is listed here. We can only hope that someday we can learn more of the location. It was believed to have been flooded out at one time as was the First Church located in the same area. Because of the importance of the First Church to this burial site we are listing that information as well.
Hillman's Burial Plot
May have been on the north side of Wilawana Rd. (St. Rt 427), on the river flats about 3 & 8/10’s miles west of the NY/PA line, vicinity of Hillman and Tanner properties, Town of Chemung. ( I spoke with Mr. Tanner and Mr. Hillman, whose families have lived in the area for more than one hundred years. Neither could recall ever having heard of a cemetery in that area.-Joan Shafer)
