This is the Palmiter Cemetery in Brookfield, NY. It is now on private land and almost totally gone. It's not the owners who have done anything, just nature. It's been hit several times by lightning as it's up on top of a hill but surrounded by trees. In order to get to it, it's almost impossible to climb the hill off the road and otherwise you need to walk across a long farm field. The owners let us visit and even fix the stones in there. Suffice to just view what was left through the pictures I took of it before it went further downhill. After we fixed Caleb and Frelove, lightning struck the trees and the stone was broken in half again. At least I had taken a picture of it so it'll be preserved that way. Also in this cemetery is Caleb and Frelove's little boy, Caleb, who died when he was 6. There is a Minerva, but don't know her last name. Jesse Palmiter d. 1819 and his wife, Elizabeth Neff Palmiter d. 1810 are buried side by side a little bit back of Caleb and Frelove. There seem to be at least two more graves which are most likely that of Ebenezer(Caleb's father) and his wife, Grace Palmiter Burdick. All totalled, I don't think there are more than 10 graves there and they'd all be connected with Palmiter somehow. You can also tell that there was a small house a barn not far from this cemetery.
