Smithfield Buxton Burying Plot
(Also known as the Buxton-Buffum Burial Plot)

Located in North Smithfield, Rhode Island
( just over the Massachusetts / Rhode Island border ) on Rt. 146A

This page has photos of all the visible "Buxton" gravestones. There are a couple other family names with burials there also at the South end of the cemetery, but no attempt was made to photograph those family areas.
(some Waterman, Ballou, Tifft, Southwick names are included here though, as they were in line with the Buxton stones)

All photos taken February 1999
The first four are overall views of the cemetery and are each 2-3 individual photos "stitched" together to create a wideangle view.
Gravestone photos were taken in order: left to right, row by row, moving from the back of the cemetery towards the street. Inscriptions face the back of the cemetery (West)
