The cemetery has about 1000 graves. It used to be for the nearby St. George's Parish Vestry House which has been there since the 1766, but it has since (recently) been torn down. The plaque says, "SPESUTIA CHURCH
ST. GEORGE'S PARISH

The name Spesutia is derived from the Latin for Utie's Hope. 17th century manorial grant to Col. Nathaniel Utie.
