Source: Newton Cemetery Transcriptions by Marion Pearce Carter, 1932 ("The Old Rehoboth Cemetery, sometimes known as the Newman Cemetery, The Ring of the Town") and by Mr. David Jillson, 1850 neither of which make any distinction between Newman Cemetery and Hunt Cemetery which are beside one another. Some of the stones no longer exist.
Simeon Read (141367539)
Suggested edit: Thank you for making this information available for others. Simeon Read was an interesting person in that he "moved" while staying on the same farm. He was born in Rehoboth, Bristol, Massachusetts, but a portion of that split off to become Seekonk, Bristol, Massachusetts in 1812, and as shown in the 1820 and 1830 censuses. Then in 1862, the U.S. Supreme Court gave a portion of Seekonk to East Providence, Providence, Rhode Island. I know that his date of birth in 1743 makes him more than 80 when he died, but Vital Records of Rehoboth give that as his date of birth, and to Aaron and Tabitha who are buried with him.
