The exact location of this cemetery is not known
but it was probably located near the corner of the present
day Lake Ave. and Driving Park Avenue. Doctor McCracken who
was buried here lived on the southwest corner of that
intersection.
The burial records of this cemetery came from
the earliest record book of Mt. Hope Cemetery which also
includes records of burials in this and other cemeteries.
Those records indicate that Miss Jane Godfrey, the Griffin
child, Luke McCracken and Dr. David McCracken all lived on
State St. (now Lake Ave.) in Rochester. The records also
indicate that on April 29, 1846 the remains of all three of
the McCrackens were moved to lot 88M in Mt. Hope Cemetery.
It is possible that the other two burials were also moved
at that time.
