Cemetery and Research Notes
The contributed document explicitly states, “We did not visit this site.” The photographs in Ed’s folder document the grounds and identifiable stones, but their photographer and date are not established by the burial-list text.
The original record identifies Charles C. Cullen as having died in New York. The burial listing is presented as contributed; no independent burial-place verification is implied for him or the other names.
Source: “Cullen Homestead Hopewell” burial listing in Ed Smith’s shared collection; site images and individual grave photographs were supplied separately in that folder.
