Loomis Family Burial Ground
Otsego County, New York, USA
There is no known recorded information about the cemetery; indeed, in modern times it's actual physical location was virtually unknown.
In 1791 300 acres of land, including the present day location of Parslow Road, was purchased from Wm. Cooper by Israel Loomis of Lebanon, CT. Loomis settled his family here soon after and all of his 9 his children were born on the farm.
His wife Catherine died there in 1838 and he seven years later.
Upon his death in 1845 Israel Loomis stipulated in his will that the small fenced in "burial ground" on the 50 acres left to his son (including the house and barns)be "kept well fenced"
Eventually the private burial ground fell to ruin, though a 1903 town map locates a cemetery just to the east of the farm's main barns.
At some point the Loomis family stones were likely removed and dumped behind the nearby residence; where the only known Loomis stone was found under debris at the corner of the back lawn area.
