This cemetery was removed from Brush Neck Farm in 1903. There is now a granite monument with 23 names located in Section J. The ancestors of this family was nearly wiped out during King Phillip's War in 1675. The only survivor was the son John (1672-1744), from whom all the Rhode Island Budlongs descend from. He is said to have been captured by the Native Americans and was traded for pumpkins. Roger Williams mentions the child in a letter to Governor John Leverett dated 14 Jan 1676. While interviewing Joshua Tefft, he was asked "What was the English child which was brought to the Gen; he said that Pumhoms men had taken it to Warwick." A footnote to this letter says "On 5 Jan 1675/6 the Indians delivered to Winslow an English child, about three or four years old, who had been taken at Warwick. Supposedly the child was returned to demonstrate Indian goodwill and a sincere desire for peace." James N. Arnold visited this lot 25 Oct 1891: "On the Asylum Farm northeast from the house, lot fenced, some neglected." Identified, registered, and recorded by John Sterling for a book on Warwick cemeteries.
