The Milton Cemetery is situated on the West side of Milton Rd. in Rye, NY, between the intersections of Mayfield St. and Rye Beach Ave. A path passes through the cemetery, across a bridge, and past the small Purdy Cemetery on the other side of the water, but most of the graves at the Purdy Cemetery are completely unreadable.

Information written in RED below indicates a grave I couldn't identify.

I cannot identify this person. I have found two possibilities: Sarah Park, believed to be born ca 1757 and died ca 1826, daughter of Roger Park (ca 1718 - ca 1788) & Sarah Disbrow, and wife of Thomas McCollum. Alternatively, Sarah Lyon, daughter of Benjamin Lyon and Mary Hyatt, born 10 Mar 1760 and died 1 Oct 1817 (according to "The Lyon Memorial" by Robert B. Miller and A.B. Lyons), and wife of Roger Park (11 Jul 1754 - 25 Aug 1838) who is buried at the same cemetery.
