The ancient cemetery is on Christian lane, a few rods north of the railroad,, but the Cowles graves, if any, are unmarked. However, a large granite boulder placed there by the D.A.R. bears the name of Cowles with those of the other original settlers.

    Caleb Cowles, together with his bothers, Samuel and Isaac and other persons, signed a petition to the General Assembly, Oct. 11, 1705, requesting a settlement of an Ecclesiastical Society at a place called the "Great Swamp" on account of the inconvenience of attending services at Farmington about six miles distant, indicating that they all then resided there, though this is not of record.
