HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

Just a short distance from the house is the Old Bocock burying ground, located 
in a clump of large oak and cedar trees there is no fence around this small 
graveyard, but it is well kept.  There are boxwood and other shrubs as well as 
lilacs and all kinds of rose bushes.  There are quite a few graves of this 
distinguished family to be found here.  There are also quite a few graves there 
without any markers.
