The Wingfield Family Cemetery has a breathtaking view overlooking the river.

use by the Wingfield Family.  

Many thanks to Mr. and Mrs. J.R. Wingfield for permission to visit the cemetery; 
and Susan Wingfield, Betsey C. Wingfield, and Scott Gold for helping to 
transcribe the tombstone information.  Special thanks to J.R. Wingfield III for
