(Burial Ground) in a ceremony officiated by William Roberts. We have not found any reference since to the existence of this burial ground and it may very well be another name for McGuigan's Cemetery.
McGuigan's Cemetery is located on Concession B, Lot 3 of Wolford Township, Grenville County on land once owned by and named after Miles McGuigan. In county maps dated 1880, a Mrs. Chester is listed as the owner of this lot, hence the possible mistaken name for McGuigan's Cemetery.
In July 2014, we visited the Archives ourselves to see if there were any other burials in Chester's Burial Ground officiated by William Roberts which we could match up with known burials in McGuigan's Cemetery. During the period 1864 - 1925 there are no burials in McGuigan's Cemetery within the Merrickville Anglican Parish records and Frederick appears to be the only burial in Chester's Burial Ground during this period. McGuigan's Cemetery was in use from the early 1800's until its closing in the late 1890's. Frederick's first wife Phoebe Chester was buried in McGuigan's after her death in 1863, so it is probable given the records eluding to Chester's B.G. and the fact that McGuigan's Cemetery was on Mrs. Chester's property in the late 1800's that Frederick is buried here as well with Phoebe.
Notes - Upper Canada in 1800's
