There appear to be at least seven or or possibly eight burial plots, three of which have headstones with legible inscriptions. The largest one with an inscription is for Elezer Slocum. The other two are much smaller and hold the remains of two of Elezer's granddaughters, Ruth and Mary Ester. The granddaughters parents are Gardner Clark Slocum and Mary Ann Himes (1). Gardner is a son of Elezer and his wife Sarah Crandall.

There are three other adult-sized graves. One of them is near Elezer's grave, making it reasonable to assume that it is the grave of his wife Sarah.

The other two adult-sized graves without inscriptions lay next to each other. It is reasonable to believe that they are for Gardner Slocum and Mary Ann Himes because at least two of their children (see above) are also buried in this plot.

There are two or three other smaller graves with headstones with no legible headstones. There are likely young children who were born to either Elezer and Sarah or to Gardner and Mary Ann. The RI vital records show that both couples had other children who died as infants or toddlers.

The site is located about 500 feet west telephone pole #0428 on New London Turnpike in Exeter, at the top of a small rise. The plot is surrounded by white pine and oak/maple woods about 100 feet north of a horse trail.
