IN SEARCH OF the Watson Burying Ground located on the Edward K. Lincoln Estate in Blanford, with the grounds actually in Otis. We paid a visit to the new owners of this property with documentation letting them know a cemetery was indeed located in their field. Last photographed by Knurow in 1966 with one of the three stones standing…today they are all buried somewhere in the field under years of growth. A winter trip back here once the grass has died back in search of the stones using gps is scheduled.

Have you looked at aerial imaging and lidar on Mass Mapper for this location? There’s an area near the tree line about 350 feet south of the barn, right on the Otis/Blandford line that could be worth investigating if you haven’t already done so.
yes! we have and beleive it to be another barn or out building from the estate.
