In Whitby there is a monument for Moses Gage and Hannah Hemingway. This monument/stone is the only stone in the Hemingway plot/cemetery.
The following information was received from Archivist Brian Winter of the Whitby Library in Whitby, Canada regarding the Hemingway Monument:
THE HEMINGWAY GRAVESTONE
(South-East corner of Thickson Rd. and Wentworth St. Whitby)
Situated on a mound of earth is a single stone commemorating Moses Gage Hemingway (1784-1834) and his wife Hannah Forgason Hemingway (1787-1831).
This stone was placed here before 1914 and probably dates from the 1890s or early 1900s. It is not known if the bodies are under this stone, but if they are, the legend is that this is a cholera grave and cannot be disturbed because the cholera germs are still in the ground. Over 80 years ago some Americans were seen visiting this stone in the summer, likely descendants of Mr. and Mrs. Hemingway.
