PROSPECT HILL CEMETERY

Saturday, July 29, 2017

​

​

The Monument and Flag were donated by:

​

Joan Huggins, George & Patricia Kilmer, Sarah Huggins, Todd Kilmer & Kevin O'Brien, and John Huggins.

​

The John Allen family was killed in the Allen Family Massacre by Indians aligned with England's Burgoyne along with John's wife, 3 children, his wife's younger sister and 3 of John's father-in-law's slaves. This act helped arouse the patriots to their cause with two victorious battles at Saratoga in September and October of 1777.
The location is about .1 mile north on Allen Road from route 49. Then turn right on a private driveway by the Allen Massacre sign and go up the hill. The cairn or pile of stones is before the first driveway on the left going up the hill.
