*************NOTE***************
It should be noted that Abraham and Rose are probably not interned here as this cemetery was not organized at their death but their family is interned here. They are laid to rest in a family plot close, that has yet to be discovered.
Info comes via Jack Parker with special thanks for his updates.
The cemetery was founded in 1655, not 1690 - it's just that prior to 1690 they used fieldstone markers - which have all been incorporated into the surrounding wall. The cemetery is literally a stones throw from Abrahams land. It is therefore most likely that Abraham and Rose are buried here.
