BERLIN TOWNSHIP
SMITH BURYING GROUND

Researched by Henry Timman Norwalk, Ohio

  Lot 10 Range 2 of Berlin Township was settled by Hezekiah Smith at an early day, and might still be owned by his descendants.  There was a family cemetery near the house, and the stones were later used for a sidewalk to the outside privy, so I'm told.  I have a Genealogical History of the Descendants of Rev. Nehemiah Smith of New London County, Conn., published 1889 by H. Allen Smith.  Hezekiah of Berlin was a descendant, and these dates and burials are listed in this "family ground".
