About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Popkin Cemetery is one of the earliest cemeteries in Scio Township with its first burial in 1832 of an American Revolutionary veteran, Sylvester Richmond. Sylvester Richmond who was born in New York, served as a scout in the American Revolution.

James and Margaret Popkin had left everything behind and set off toward the unknown in search of a better life. They traveled on a sailing ship for 21 days to Albany, New York where the Eric Canal had recently been completed. They likely traveled on a barge to Buffalo, New York where they boarded a ship bound for Detroit. The Steamer "Superior" arrived with many pioneers to Detroit. James Popkin purchased 160 acres, Section 14 of Scio Township on February 22, 1826.
