User-submitted facts and corrections:

  • When I was a younger man, I hunted Hancock valley every deer season. I stumbled upon an old family burial site in the wood that seems to have been forgotten, if even known of. The family name was Hakes. There were two grave stones partialy legible, one being that of a two or three year old boy who died in 1802 or 1803. I am 75 years old and am no longer able to walk in the woods. This cemetary is in the woods above the brook, behind the Town Cemetary. Does anyone know anything about this family or burial site? I have spoken with residents of the valley and so far have found no one with knowledge of this family. I would appreciate any information that anyone has concerning this cemetary and its residents. Each year that I hunted the valley, I would go to this site and pay homage to its long departed family. added by buddyu32@aol.com
