PECK ROAD CEMETERY

Town of Salisbury
Herkimer County, NY

Peck Road Cemetery includes a recent reading, taken by James Ryel (JER) in August, 1997. There are two versions: the first a narrative walking tour, noting placement of stones, and an alphabetical listing. Discrepancies between Mr. Ryel's reading of a year ago and the latter list (date unknown) shows how much the stones have degraded since the earlier reading which lists 26 persons. Kathy Brockway, who prepared the online version says "Note discrepancies: John Porter is nowhere mentioned in dialogue of JER. Table with his name appears to be a deduction of the transcriber. Also, note discrepancies for Mrs. Tanner (Martha/Maria & dates). I have included the data as it appears in the dialogue, noting rows, as well as alphabetically by last names."
