Good afternoon. If you read this, could you please do a history of the cemetery on Plains rd East. I believe it's the United Empire Loyalists cemetery. I'm very curious who is laid to rest there. In the 70s I once played there on the site of the Feed station and dairy farm.
Thanks for watching my video. The cemetary you mentioned is the cemetary at Plains Road and Francis. I do not have any old pictures of the cemetary but here is some information on it for you Union Burying Ground (Brick or Loyalist Cemetery)In 1806, the Davis and Ghent families moved to Burlington onto land they had purchased from Joseph Brant. A plot of land at the front of the Davis farm was sold to ten families in the area to use as burial plots.Established in 1848, this cemetery with its unique brick wall is recognized and protected through heritage designation.Two veterans from the War of 1812 are interred at this cemetery, Private Asahel Davis and Thomas Ghent. The red brick wall with its stone foundation was built in 1888.
