Archaeological Description:
Wellborn Family Cemetery
This family burial ground is located on part of Broken Front Concession, Lot 9, on Park Crescent "off Crerar Boulevard" The hill slopes down to the Lake from the cemetery. The Wellborn family farmed in Kingston Township as early as the 1820s. The plot contains three tombstones, and at least four burials: John Glazeby/Glazery (1840), Mary Wellborn (1847), Anne Wellborn (1854) and Marmeduke Wellborn (1863).
Description:
The burial mound [elevation 75m] is on the northern edge of what is now Crerar Park, on Park Crescent off Crerar Boulevard. The land slopes slightly from the roadway down toward the lake. The park and the burial ground are located within the City of Kingston, on the north shore of Lake Ontario. (Photos K13-1 & K13-2)
All the stones are on a raised mound approximately two meters higher than the surrounding ground and approximately two metres in from the roadway, roughly southwest of 46 Park Cr.
There are three stones; one tall, upright square stone and two rectangular stones flat on the ground. At the foot of one of the flat stones is a small upright stone bearing the letters "MW" which face inwards, toward the flat stone. (Photo K13-3)
